This drawing is not my favorite by far but I figured I would share it anyways. It is probably two feet wide and done in graphite which I hadn't worked with in a while, causing me to forget how time consuming it is and so I was unable to finish the drawing before class was over.
This was done on our drapery day when we were learning how to draw clothing, sheets in this case. This one was a 5 minutes warm-up drawing. 
Another one of the drapery drawings, this one took about 10 minutes I think, it was a lot of fun. 
Our last drawing of the day, we had about an hour and a half to complete these one. Our teacher found this arabic sultan get-up somewhere. The cape was actually a very shiny gold material but it was so hard to shade material with charcoal I just went ahead and covered it all in charcoal and then did darker areas and took out the lights with an eraser.
I did this drawing this afternoon, we had 2 hours and were told to go after it. White conte is hard to erase and kind of a hit or miss kind of medium so it took some getting used to. It was scary to make the first few marks because you want to outline the figure and make changes constantly but you just had to get this one right on the first shot and draw in only the light areas. 
Wow Is what an artist you have learned to be. It must be so fun to do that and end up with something that looks real. You better go get your art degree and come to Lopez and be our art teacher.
ReplyDeleteLove you lots
Your drawings are very impressive and realistic! You've managed to catch the fabric folds just right. I'm sure you're excited to use all you've learned in Prague. I'm looking forward to seeing all your artwork this summer. It was fun talking today and have a great Friday!
