This is an image of a plant with leaves, around the plant is void space. The image was drawn with graphite on a piece of sketching paper, then it was cleaned up using Adobe Photoshop. Images drawn in this manner are a great way to play around with figure and ground, to see void space as an object and vice-versa. I often forget that the sky and a surrounding can be used as an object in a design, a great example of this would have to be Louis Kahn's Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. For this reason, thinking of void space as an object can help to understand more about a location than what is physically there.
I missed quite a bit of void space that I did not cover up. I was using a pencil with a B size lead. I had to press hard on the paper to get the tone somewhat dark. I should have tried to find a softer lead of pencil. This would have made my image look more clean and vivid.
