Love that stance. Such expression!
Very good forms and flow! Have you done the figure courses on NMA?

The cylinder was supposed to be normal but came out rather elongated like a wing profile but I still like it ok.

May 8, 2020 at 3:02 pm in reply to: David’s 100-Day Challenge – Draw something, draw anything #516943Today I tackled a texture and tone study with Mark Westermoe which I really enjoyed. I broke out my gouache and paintbrushes for the first time which was a change. The splatter one was a bit over-enthusiastic. Mark said you can cover up the surrounding areas with masking tape, AFTER I splattered black gouache over all the page. Oops! This was done on my very upmarket Windsor and Newton 100 lbs / 220 gsm cartridge paper. I was getting a little tired of newsprint. There are a lot of interesting materials that Mark mentions in this lesson I never heard of, like wax pencils (similar to kids crayons I wonder?) and bristol paper. Used: Conté pencils (black and brown), Biro, 2B and 6B graphite pencils (also made by Conté a Paris), Prismacolor Nupastel (black), Windsor and Newton black gouache. I did not have any wax pencils.. looking for those… are there any particular trade names people prefer?
Stay safe,
David.That feeling of tranquility definitely comes through in the mood of this one. Very nice.
Great pose you’ve chosen there Tanya. Looks like a movie poster!

Great work Tanya, love the poses and your use of colour. Especially #2 and #3.
May 7, 2020 at 3:15 pm in reply to: David’s 100-Day Challenge – Draw something, draw anything #514963Thank you, Joshua.
Here are today’s efforts, much on the same lines as yesterday’s. I’m a little more pleased with this one, and wish I had more time to fiddle with the fine details. The basic form of the hammer head is a little wrong. I found it difficult to draw as it was pointing towards the viewer for one thing and another is that the claws are not separated which means that where there should be some shapes to draw there is just a patchwork of lights and darks and what should be in shadow appears lighter than what is in the light due to the actual paint on the metal! I’m tempted to rub it out and try again but probably better to begin a new sketch! I can feel myself fighting with those claws. I drew the separation even though it is not visible.
Keep safe
David.
Is that a wolf or a dog?! Great looking face and eye.
This is lovely work. I love the ethereal qualities of watercolour and you’ve used that nicely with the pale flowers which melt into the background. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
