Hello world, I am learning how to draw. Again. And again and again, and I feel like I'll never be quite finished learning how to draw and develop my talents. Ha, talents for drawing. I'd rather be painting. But it's really nice to have an art class again and it's better than nothing.
Here was our first 'larger' assignment - one that I'm not completely happy with but am pleasantly surprised with the results. This was from our first section, contour drawing. Apparently I draw like Matisse, and perhaps I'm even a distant relative. I have my doubts, and I'm not quite sure if I should be offended or pleased. I think I'll be pleasantly confused for the moment.
This is a quick sketch done in charcoal. I don't know how I feel about charcoal. It is very forgiving but also hard to control, and very hard to indicate detail. However, out of all the drawing that I've done, this feels the most natural to me, not that drawing will ever come natural to me. However, this gesture drawing is relatable to painting and, for now, is in first place for me.
P.S. Notice the plant theme? I like it, though I believe that we're moving on next week. Sad, I could be very happy just drawing the organic lines in plants.
