Art Progress: 29 April 2020

Drawing: 30 Minutes

Number of Sketches: 1

Good Points: More accuracy with shapes and shading. 

To improve: cleaner lines, drawing leaves

Here’s the drawing of houses outside my window from 26/04/2020:

And here’s the same drawing again that I made today (partially out of a lack of any other things to draw):

I think that my observation has improved in the latter picture, as well as the shading. I still have problems with maintaining a steady hand and I wonder whether I should use a harder pencil. 

Right now, this was drawn using an increasingly blunt HB pencil. I might get cleaner lines from a different pencil. At the same time, I also need to loosen my grip on the pencil. I am still too reliant on the scribes grip, which I use for writing. All of this is also linked with developing a better posture at my desk, which allows for more free lines. 

I must say, however, that part of this difference has come from using a grid, as well as using dots to outline the semicircles here. 

I have just reblogged a picture called Chipovnick by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, which contains the same semicircles and columns which I intend to practice. Yesterday’s Art Progress entry included my practicing of shapes and tone using a grid. Already, I had made a quick outline of what I would copy.  We shall see whether this will come to fruition.

Very simple, and very good: semicircles of delicata squash dressed with olive oil and fresh parsley and garlic. You can serve this hot from the oven or at room temperature.
