foxfire1345 - Thanks! Yeah, I didn't use pen pressure.. I should probably should experiment with my technique more. Well, I don't really have a particular process for still lives- just drawing what I see and trying to squint and get the colors down as accurately as possible.
Here's my first still life from last year along with a recentish second attempt at drawing an onion.
Now some poo i.e. attempts at making my own pieces. I've improved a lot at copying other pictures but I always feel like I'm running into a stone wall whenever I try to draw my own shit - even with reference. I know I just need to keep practicing but too often I fret over what and how I should be studying. Perhaps I should plan a week of study in advance and choose a main focus for that week such as the human figure or environments. Ughhh...
uhhh I kinda gave up on this one..
refed a Ivan Shishkin painting for the trees.. with poor results so far heh
Speaking of Ivan Shishkin.. here's a master study I'm working on. I love his forest landscapes..all those wonderful greens and purples and yellows..
