1) I used clean edges, especially on the rock and gear I tried to keep sharper shades on the rock, and smudge the gear to represent rust.
2) Value are important because they add depth. I think I added enough values to have it pleasing, but I definitely could have gone darker, specifically on the gear.
3) Yes, I think
4) They were pretty important, because if I didn't have to go around looking at different angles, I wouldn't have found this little set on the side. The sketches allowed me to see what I wanted in my piece and what I didn't.
5) I think it is successful because of the small details. It is different from most peoples, because they zoomed out and had so much going on in their pieces(which were really good!) while mine is more focused and simple. I think the detailing on the rock brings a lot to it.
6) The proportions are pretty spot on from what I was seeing. The only problem I had was the spokes(?) of the gear, and trying to make all those the same size.
7) Again, I like it because of the simpleness. It didn't have a lot going on, and in the chaos of that structure you set up, I found a spot which I really enjoyed. I even asked to move the rock so it did cover the gear a bit, and added some dimension.
8) I don't believe there is a center, but if so, it is the gear
9) I managed my time horribly and I know it. On the day you were out I got called to student services which set me back just a little, and I've had very little motivation lately(its a struggle I am working with bear with me). I believe I really picked up the slack though and came through at the end.
10) I was not sure how to represent the rust on the gear. Because not only did it get randomly dark, there were also splotches of light spots that wasn't actually lighting that made it really confusing for me. I think I figured out a good technique to sketching out the rust and not blending it like you normally might.
11) I really like it. I mean some of it. I like my rock and my gear. I would have hated to do the flowers or sock monkey or log. Options are nice.
