Nature - observational drawings

At the beginning of my course we did a session on observational drawing where we had to draw a still life set up from different aspects in different media and weird ways.

Drawing in biro

This drawing was done in biro pen and was drawn using my left hand. It was fun to do because it is a interesting way to draw in observation. We had a time limit to do it in and I think we had about 5 minutes. It isn't a great drawing but that is to be expected when using the opposite hand.

Drawing in HB pencil

For this picture I had to do a line drawing in a HB pencil. We had 15 minutes to draw as much of the set up as we could. I didn't finish my drawing but the bit that I did draw is ok but I would have preferred to finish it.
Soft pastel drawing

This drawing is done in soft white pastel and we had 15 minutes to do this. I don't use this media much and I need more practice using it to get better at drawing with it. I like the effect it gives the drawing but it could be better.

Black felt pen drawing on paper and tape

For this piece we had to first prep the paper. We did this by sticking strips of masking tape on the paper and then screwing it into a ball. After that I unrolled the paper and started drawing the set up. The reason I did that to the paper was so that I was drawing on texture thus giving my drawing a more 3D look. I enjoyed doing this drawing the most because I learnt a new way to put a cool perspective on my work.
