Tone study

Charcoal on Paper 18x24

I had an okay week in class's. I think I blew my art history quiz. I confused styles of the dutch and french landscape paintings of the 1600's, DOH! Oh well, I should get a "C" on it at least. I've been getting B-'s and A-'s on all of them so far so 1 screw-up won't matter. Maybe it will be a B- this time.
We worked on this tone study drawing all class long on monday, about 4 hours of work.

Soft Pastels on Tan Pastel Paper 18x24

My life drawings did not come out so well. The face looks too flat, I covered up the highlights too much I think. Maybe I should have put shadows in just like if I was viewing her from the front.
 


















I do not like how this conte drawing came out.
I tried to draw her foot also in the extra space. I don't know what else to say about this one but that she had a nice tattoo, lol.

Well still gotta work on my final self portrait more to get it going. Hopefully this next week will be better.
