Started yesterday with the first image to get into the project and worked on the others today. I still have to find the right paper for graphite and then hope to get more contrast in the drawing. Will need to practice more for this assignment.

Phew….😅

Oh no, I just realized. I forgot to draw them from memory - hope to add those tomorrow.

Morning painting study!

Hopefully without faults at last - I’ve been correcting a lot 😅

I tried this project twice; once with charcoal on newsprint (1) and then with graphite (2 & 3) . 1. I found that I have a habit of putting values down lighter than they should be and then building them up in layers. Because of this, my quicker studies all look too high-key. Is there is a way to judge the value more accurately right off the bat? 2. I feel that I had less time to fiddle with the edges on the quicker studies, making some of the transitions on those look too abrupt. 3. Especially with the quicker studies, it was hard to shade the halftones cleanly without getting little dark flecks from using slightly uneven pressure. This was especially problematic with the charcoal on newsprint as little rocks in the charcoal pencil kept scratching black flecks into the paper. Is there a way to help deal with those rocks? I also felt like I made the reflected light on the untimed graphite sphere a bit too light. But I wasn't really sure if it needed to be darker or I had just been staring at my drawing for too long. I really enjoyed this project. Thanks so much for the demo!

479th Day of Proko and counting. Untimed. Not quite there yet.

Inspired by Peter Rabbit. I wanted to keep it very simple. First idea was the 3rd image. Mr.McGregor small (loser) escaping Peter big (winner). Idea process: silhouettes - different colours - a few riming words. These are thumbnails, first ideas, so I didn’t work on it further, but: - still to find one drawing style for Peter - and I’m not sure about keeping the text as it is. (maybe add: “away from the angry man” in the last cel) - more corrections I don’t know yet I hope I stayed within the rules, but the ideas took over in a way. oh and the choice of colours was just 3 for each cel.

This assignment was quite fun to do! It definitely made me better at freehanding boxes of different sizes in 3D space.
