Planes; Light and Dark [03/03/11]

2 minute

I decided to use my 2B pencil for these two minute poses since I've been using pen and I want to experiment with different mediums. Maybe I'll try crayons or color pencils in the future! Oh, that thrills me thinking about it! lol.

I know that a classmate have been using watercolor, which Tiger has experimented with before in his past watercolor class. Exciting...

20 minute


Drawing squares and planes didn't sit too well with me. I struggled, which is good since it challenges my brain to work in different ways rather than to repeat a cycle that I already have programmed. Yet, I was already annoyed with some of my classmates for various reasons. So, I wasn't in the mood.

My first drawing looks like a fat robot, then I gave up on the planes and squares and went with emphasizing the lights and darks of the figure in my next two drawings.

I realize that I work differently, somewhat more focused, when I am frustrated, because I am wanting to get the job done and I don't want to frustrate myself even further. I did an excellent job finding the overall structure with my third drawing. It took about 5-10 minutes erasing and trying again and again, but it worked!

This was the first class that I felt that leaving early was appropriate.
