outdoors sketching
Overtoun House. fountain pen (Rotring ArtPen M & EF lovely pens!).
tree stump, charcoal (vine charcoal, Conte 2B Charcoal pencil, Conte Sanguine pencil)
I'm much more used to drawing still life from photographs, but today I got outside with the aim of drawing something. Both drawings were a bit harder because I had to hold the paper awkwardly. The building was a lot more complex than I thought when I started, it was gettingn cold too so I think I was beginning to rush things towards the end. The tree stump - I'm not even sure if it's recognisable as that, I find it hard to draw things like this that are complex but without any real recognisable shape, like drawing rocks and things. I guess it's good practice at drawing exactly what I am seeing.

life drawing 20/04/2010
Another night of drawing at the botanic gardens. These two are both 30 minute poses, both drawn in charcoal. The figure lying down was quite heavily blended, not so sure about the face on that one!
