Sketching – Week 5
Well, here’s this weeks rough sketch for my class project. We were asked to draw a ball and a box. We were also told to focus mainly on the shadows of each item, using a gradation scale as a point of reference for each shadow drawn. I think it turned out okay for my first attempt, but I have to say, I never thought drawing a ball could be as difficult as it was. I really wish I never had to draw another one! Lol…
Sketch 4 – Final Version
Well, here’s my final sketch for my mid-term project. My teacher didn’t really want me adding anything else, but I snuck in an extra book because I thought it looked too plain without it. He also wanted me to shade the table, so I did that as well. This was a lot more difficult from my first sketch since this one was done in charcoal and my original sketch was done in graphite. Hopefully I get a good grade. My teacher seems like a tough grader and so far I’m at an 89%. So I’ve got to bring that up a bit if I want to get an “A” in the class. Hope everyone is having a good weekend! 😉
Sketching – Week 4
Well, here’s more of what I’ve been up to this week. Each week we have a quick sketch that’s due on Wednesday, and then by Sunday, we turn in a final drawing. This is my Wednesday sketch. I’m still not sure what my final layout will be for Sunday. I’ll be starting it tonight, and I think I’ll be adding another book and possibly a bottle to give my still life a little more interest. Wish me luck, cause it’s for my mid-term project and worth nearly half my grade. Yikes! 😉
Quick update…
Hey Everyone,
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything and so I thought I’d give you all a quick update. I haven’t been shirking my blogging responsibilities out of choice, just been really busy because I’m back in school now and it’s taking up a lot of my time.
So today, I wanted to share what I’ve been doing in one of my classes. I decided to take a fun class to begin with, and here’s one of the drawings I recently completed. It’s been so much fun getting back into sketching, which I really haven’t done much of since high school (which was 30 years ago), but it’s slowly coming back to me. Anyway, it’s always good to revisit the things we used to enjoy, all in order to see if we still find pleasure in them years later. I’ll try to share more photos of my work from time to time.
Hope all of you have been well. I’ll try to catch up on reading all of your blogs as soon as I can. And if there’s something I’ve missed that you’d like to share with me, then please leave a link to your post in the comments below. I always love it when you guys share things with me like that. 😉
