After a week's break, the drawing session felt as scary - and passed as quickly - as ever.
 |
| The task of the day - contrasting drawings, worked on alternately |
 |
| The view I chose for the "intense" one |
 |
The view for the "calm" one - photo taken after starting the drawing.
To get this angle, I had to twist the camera - that should have given me a clue... |
 |
Before checking verticals, horizontals and relationships
(using charcoal on both at the moment) |
 |
After checking, some things have moved - but not enough
(switching to pencil on the right) |
 |
I started adding ink washes on the right - and then the tutor came along
and helped me get the positions right, in both pics |
 |
| More layers of wash on the right, but not enough time to finish the one on the left |
This was definitely a learning experience. Even though the paper was small, it felt rushed to do both drawings, and having a free choice of medium (and being encouraged to emphasise the contrast by choice of medium) was almost too much for me.
Next week, it gets even scarier - we start on a two-week project. Before that, I'll be reviewing what we've worked on so far...
