Learning something new........charcoal

I am on a year long, on-line drawing course. The Module I'm in right now is charcoal, something I've never tried before. Challenging, interesting.......I'm enjoying working with this new medium. Enjoy the journey.

Making a plan for the next Canvas

Sometimes when you cook, you have a recipe......when you build a house, you have architectural plans to guide you. When I work on a new canvas, I first like to draw out the idea on paper. I then take the images and colour them in with pens to get an idea what look and feel I want for the canvas. The next step is to draw the image on canvas and start working with the brush. Enjoy the journey.

THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

I am enjoying the journey with the online Draw Awesome course. As I become more confident with the pencils, I realize the world is at my fingertips for creating. In the next year we will be creating with pencil, charcoal, ink pens, pastel, watercolour, landscapes, animals and portraits. I will post on a regular basis, and each image is for sale. Enjoy the journey.

EYE SEE YOU

Its been a great new challenge working with pencil. Years ago it was my main medium, so to be back with pencil in hand is like seeing an old friend again. This lesson was to draw 4 different eyes from photographs.......it was a challenge to capture the glimmer and light you see in peoples eyes. Enjoy the journey.
