Denise - Day #6 - Cubism

Here is my take on a vase of flowers in the style of Pablo Picasso.  I would have liked to have added color but the instructor didn't mention this until the solution portion of the video so we will just stick with my black and white. 

Skyler - Day 5 - Refinement Drawing - Space Villian

So here are my refinement drawings. They are space villains, more specifically Daleks from Doctor Who.  I didn't do too many...Oops.  But I definitely feel like I did do a better job on the second one, though there are parts of the first one I like better. It was fun anyways and I feel like I'm getting better and better at drawing!

Denise - Day 5 - Refinement Drawing - skulls

So...  The assignment was to choose from a list of subjects an image to draw several times throughout the day and hopefully get better at drawing it.  I chose skulls.  Since it is Halloween, I have a few decorations that I referenced for a couple of the sketches and then I also reviewed an image of skull online to reference for shape, etc. 

Still not feeling great about my skills but I know I won't ever get better without trying, sure wish it came easier but nothing worthwhile comes easy (if you believe in clichés).  The images were taken with my cell phone so sorry about the quality.

Denise - Day 4 - Give yourself a high 5





 

 

I apologize for the delay in drawing and posting my hands.  Life got really busy and I do sort of avoid drawing I guess because of the stress.  I took a picture of my hand today for Macro Monday and followed my own advice when I was drawing.  I didn't do any sketches beforehand which is probably obvious but I also wasn't as frustrated today.  This is a big step for me because I guess I am a little hard on myself.  I want this challenge to be fun and not oppressive so today was much better. 

Skyler - Day 4 - Give yourself a high five!

Wow, I spent a lot of time on these today. The challenge was to draw 5 hands, all in a different style. I'm really rather proud of all of them (except one, can you guess which  one). It was fun, but i probably wont spend quite this much time on them again.

Skyler - Day 3 - Draw what you see

This one took a long time. There are a couple of shapes in here that are black holes (I just filled them in because i couldn't think of anything for them. Oops). The challenge was just to fill in each shape with a picture you imagine. I did my best and here it is. If you have any questions on what the pictures are please ask. Time for ice cream!

Denise - Day 3 - Draw what you see

Well, after viewing the solution sheet that the instructor came up with apparently I did not quite grasp the concept.  I looked at the shapes and tried to discern larger shapes from the smaller.  My teetering Joe Cool and misshapen lamb were what I came up with.  I wasn't as frustrated with this exercise but I didn't really do it correctly, sort of like #2.  Good thing this isn't getting graded for credit or I would not be passing right now.
