Fabric, charcoal drawing
Last semester at Bakersfield College I was told a class in the arts was necessary before transferring to Cal State. I happily enrolled in Drawing 101 and enjoyed it immensely. The teacher chose to have us work almost exclusively with charcoal, a medium I had not previously used. I found the shades, tonal range and ease of use to be pretty good.
My rendition of plate 5 by Charles Bargue
One of the most carefully studied bits of Styrofoam ever 🙂
Ears are deceptively difficult to draw!
Crosshatching techniques
Skull and Cross bone?
Architectural perspective
Portrait of a caver
At last a little bit of color!
My final project- Game over man!
I really enjoyed the course and intend to continue drawing with charcoal- I’ve got a new project on my desk right now 🙂
