Collaborative Drawing

I have a lot of trouble starting off on most art projects (drawing), and to have other people lay everything out for me was really nice. Although there were some objects and sizes and locations that I originally liked, and were changed by others, coming back to my drawing with the layout of the canvas (sheet on the ground), and the trash bin facing the "exact" direction was really helpful, as I was able to build on these essential foundations, the layout, that I was struggling with (in the beginning). One change that I was not to fond of was the chair and the location of the paper-towel role; the chair was in a completely different direction than I wanted, and a little off, and the paper-towel-role was misplaced. However, because of the marvelous foundations there, I was able to create the chair that I wanted, and relocate and redraw the paper-towel-role.

When editing other's work, I was able to discern mistakes that others made better than my own, which was surprising. However, when I went back to mine, I was able to see what could be changed, more than before which was great.

When I approached someone else's work, I was quite "unforgiving" and did what I thought was best to the drawing, which I normally do not do. I first looked for the major placement, ratio size, and anything else that needed immediate change. After making those changes, I would focus more on certain details, which would save the person time later.

When I came back to my drawing, I had to change the chair and the towel-role completely, but because the mat under everything was proportional and most of the items were placed exactly, it was a much simpler job, and way less complicated. I was also able to see changes that others had done and what I could change a lot better.
