Measured Drawings, Still Life, Sketchbook

Corners! Super exciting! Ok, maybe not, but part of the learning experience.

This week we’ve been doing still life, practicing measuring angles and lengths with our arms and drawing tools. This next one is sideways, despite editing multiple times on my phone:

Sideways again, making the baseball look even more warped:

Some still life I did for an assignment.

I did that, decided it wasn’t gestural enough, so I did a second with my little Wonder Woman figure, the cow, the lamp, a pot and a couple of rocks, and I didn’t get a picture because it was very late.
We also took bad selfies and drew one to exaggerate the features, based on an inspiration by the TA.

And some more bits from my scrapbook and practice at home:

That’s not including the sketches that were pretty weird, incomplete, or concept thumbnail sketches. I have been taking to heart that the best way to master something is to practice a ton.
The next assignment is an animal drawing, any form. We can even use some color. I’m playing with the idea of otters underwater. I’ll let you know how it goes.
