I've been taking an art class on Monday evenings and trying to improve my penciling. This was my first try after many years:It's far from perfect, but its a starting point. I need to work on my shading a lot more. One of the guys in my class is unbelievably good at it.
Next I decided to try some pastel chalk drawing. I've never used it before so I decided to start with something I thought would be easier than a face:
I'm working on a new pastel chalk that is secret. it's going to be a gift for someone. I'll post it when I finish and give it to the recipient. I would post my work in progress, but the person reads this blog occasionally.
Hey, Todd, those are awesome! I draw, too...or at least, I used to, it's been a while. And I have to say I am one shady artist...what's up with that, shouldn't shading be really boring? It totally makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteWow! An artist, too? These are great!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to draw stick figures. I think that's why I liked taking pictures, since I couldn't draw worth sh*t!
Teri, it has been almost 25 years since I've drawn anything, so it was fun. I'm getting my eye back, I can really see it on the one I am working on. I can't wait to show it.
