The Birds

Oh my birds!  Spend no more than 20 seconds on each. Birds are actually very fun to draw, perhaps it's attributed to their easy to draw shape, or perhaps I'm not as worried as messing up a bird as say a person, allowing for a faster more gestural sketch. I'll try applying the same logic to people.

Conservatory

I ended up using my ink brush pen this time around seeing how we were allowed to use any medium we wished. I feel that going to the conservatory was a good experience and in the long run and I may go there again.

Something to do with instruments

I ended up starting to like the more "doodly"  style, however I like to finish up sketches after I have a good idea of what I want everything to look like. 

I found out what is going on with my posts:  It appears that instead of posting them, when the internet connection is poor it ends up saving them as drafts rather than simply posting them. 

Today I ended up staying behind because I had managed to lock myself outside of my room.  I wandered around campus and nearby locations and settled on drawing cafe goers in the Crane.  Later I went around looking for people doing homework and participating in various activities.

Northmarket (again)

Alot of today's sketches were really more or less preliminary gestures, but I was able to get in a few more "complete" sketches. One issue I kept running into was the constant need to sharpen the pencil even when i held it at a tilt causing alot of the lines to come out less than crisp. If things keep up, soon I might only have pencil nubs remaining.

Black Pencil

Using the black pencil more and more and drawing with an almost brushlike movement makes it easy to completely darken a portion of an image with very little effort.   I also started attempting to draw similar poses to see the differences between now and then.

I ended up doing quite a few gestural drawings before I started drawing more filled in figures, I found that quickly blocking in shadows with the side of the pencil made short work of the task.
