Module 8B Agfa Loupe A transparency and reflectivity study

Project 4: Reflections and Transparency Due April 19
Choose and object  that has a shiny reflective and a transparent surface. Render the object as realistically as you can with lots of detail. Use the techniques you learned drawing the loupe to render transparency, highlights, shadows and reflections. The object should exist in an environment and sit on a surface. The drawing would necessarily pick up colors and reflections from its environment. Go for Realism! The more detail you include, the more precise realistic the image will appear. Do not image trace a photograph, draw the object in your own unique style. Specifications: 8.5”x11” (portrait or landscape) full color. CMYK.


1. Do a few sketches of the object to establish proportion, point of view and to become familiar with its surface and texture.

2. Photograph the object with the digital camera and use the picture as a template.

3. Proceed systematically and create layers for the various elements and surface details.

4. Draw from life. Don't work from images in magazines, newspapers, the web or any other publications. Do not Image Trace.  Submit the completed full color CMYK digital file.
