Here is a selection from 30 drawings I did- continuing the investigation into line quality- except here I am exploring it through my theme of volcanoes, fossils etc.  |
I quite like flat brush goache trilobite- I think it gets the general shape across with very simple line work.

Most of the drawings were working from fossils. I think they lend themselves to lifework quite well- thinking of different ways to build up texture.
The pencil drawings where I didn't use unusual method were mostly my least favourite- too fast, too scribbly.
Generally, I felt I wasn't completing drawings- mostly just partial sketches- I'd get part way through and loose faith/get bored.
When I realised this I started doing larger, more general shapes- I also feel when I concentrate on detail the drawing as a whole often looks wrong- so drawing more general shapes helped with this.
I was still not entirely enjoying the subjects I was drawing- but doing the crit- and thinking of people who draw/paint landscapes gave me much better idea of ways I could approach it (ppp post to follow?).
