Fresh start
I finished my 100-page sketchbook and put it on the shelf. There were some pages that I liked, but most I did not. So I made the resolution to begin a new book and to do better.
This time I'm working in a 9"x9" Aquabee which I like a lot. So far, that is.
The first page was intimidating so I drew a zentangle to break it in. That was yesterday.
Today I was at Juvenile Hall and was drawing with the boys. I finished this nasturtium based on a photo reference of a sketch.
When we went to work with the second group of boys I drew a perspective exercise from a book on the art cart. It was a helpful page because I still have a lot of trouble with some basic rules of perspective.
When I went to my own class this afternoon I worked on the class assignment for two hours and stopped. I used the last hour to work on this lily. I had a magazine photo reference to work from.
So far everything is pen and black ink. So... I guess this is my pen and black ink stage!
Congratulations on filling your first sketch book. (I have not got that far ... yet.) You will soon have a whole shelf full of sketchbooks - it will be wonderful to look back through them and see your growth.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It looks like you are off to a great start in your new sketchbook!
ReplyDeleteOff to a great start in the new sketchbook. The nasturtium is especially beautiful.
