Board so I'll post something.

Out of proportion. But Oh well.

Some Recent Practice Stuff.

These are all just really quick sketches, the time varied between 5-15 minutes. The first set are from a couple different nude drawing sessions, the second are of my fellow students who modeled in my class, and the last picture is just a hand study thing we did for a bit in one class.

There was a week between these (Above) drawings and the ones below. I can see an improvement.

The Drawings below are all from my class this last Thursday.

Friedrich Nietzsche

"When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

I got inspiration to do this drawing from a photo of Nietzsche towards the end of his life. He had a mental breakdown and was just staring at the wall.

This is my first pastel drawing. I did it pretty quick, only one night of work. I feel like it is still not done, but I am not sure what else it needs, I think that the white outlining that I did was probably a mistake... Oh well... I used oil pastels and a 18x24" canvas board.

HANDS!

Just finished this tonight, I was working from small photos, so details were hard. It is charcoal on watercolor paper.

Some Recent Drawings

These are two that I did a couple of weeks ago, the top one I am pretty happy with, the nose is really off but other than that I like it. The bottom one was done from a very small photo, so getting decent shading was really difficult.

Practice Drawings

These are some quick drawings done in class of some of the other students. These aren't all of them, but the best of what I did that day. The only one that I really like is the one of Ida, the first few I did were pretty rough, just trying to get into the groove, and than after a while fatigue set in, so the quality decreased haha.

First Still Life Project

This is the first still life I did out of class. I was pretty happy about the lighter and the apple, and personally I loved the darkness of the background, but my teacher disagreed... Over all it was a fun one to do, I really wish I would have spent some time adding some detail to the box that all the stuff is sitting on, because it is a little hard to distiguish it is a cardboard box. Oh well, once again I'm sorry about the quality of the photo! Thanks for looking!

I did this using willow charcoal, and spent way too much time on it... I must have redrawn everything three times.
