bemota's sketchbook

[bemota]

Thanks LaleAnn! Although I would prefer people screaming at me.

Today I experimented a bit with graphite, my arch-enemy, doing a self portrait (with a funny face) but failed miserably, then I tried more stuff on top of it... It's in my sketchbook so it isn't even worth it taking a pic, just leaving a note here.

Some more gesture drawing, still getting the hang of doing line work with my tablet:




(30 and 60 seconds instead of 2 minutes from yesterday so I'm at least improving my speed)

Tried to do a study but I think it was a bit of a miss:


(I realize that the problem with both working in graphite and this study is my lack of patience. Must work on that.)

And then, THEN!, I decided to do another study so that i could just call it a day but because the universe is against me, my computer turned off when i was over 1 hour in without saving. So yeah, it was one of THOSE days.

Learned some though. (And if you guys don't mind I think I'll keep using this as sort of an art diary.)

EDIT: btw, forgot to point out an awesome website I found for references: http://armstreet.com/
