What is says in the small print: "The fabulously efficient Starbucks worker moved this chair in the middle of me drawing it".

I missed the reflection of the blow dryer. Realized it too late.

Practicing perspectives

Information gathering in order to put together a perspective drawing later.

Practicing proportions and angles while in another class. Our break was over before I had a chance to finish. :-)

At last, a lesson in proportions! And angles! Tedious but important stuff.

I quick sketch of a car in front of me while waiting to go in for an appointment.

I took a lesson on how to draw hands.

Step 1 - A loose, rough sketch to show the "movement" of the hand, the bends at the joints, the direction, the intention.
Step 2 - Loosely draw in cylinders, boxes and spheres to show the volume of the hand.
Step 3 & 4 - Use your pencil to "cite" the correct angles and proportions.

Sketched out in a hurry because I had a concert to get to!

Some of the things I did today. 

Sketching things I saw out the window, trying to focus on drawing negative space.  I really need a lesson in proportion drawing.  I think that is coming soon.



Another study of negative space.  It takes a lot of concentration, especially on something like this where there are so many similar negative spaces.  Thanks again to Starbucks for hosting my drawing session!

 I feel like I'm going through the "this is going to get worse before it gets better" phase.  Sort of like when you decide to clean out your closet.
