Reflection:
Though this assignment was technical, I enjoyed the process. I chose my headphones to draw because they have a smooth, symmetrical design. After photographing and printing the photos, I put the paper against the window as a lightbox to trace them. In order to draw clean lines, I used a ruler. For the curves, I drew many short lines with the ruler and afterward connected them together. I realized because they were symmetrical, I had to pay extra close attention to scale. From this assignment, I learned that although stylized sketches are pretty, it is just so important to have technical drawings to show the details and measurements.
