My Master study project . I attempted Peter Paul Rubens “Child’sHead” This is the first time I have ever attempted a project like this. My understanding of the image was that it has been done using pen, brush and ink. I instead tried to do it using graphite. Where ever there were very thick line I used wordless pencils. Background where it seems he has used bold brush strokes I used wood less pencil sides.

Here is my assignment. Along with two for light and order of importance I tried third one where I have light coming from different source. For the Level 2, I have tried a landscape I have attached the photograph. It was not a live observation but photograph that I took myself.

Here is my assignment. Light lines were so light that I had to increase brightness of photo.

Thanks a lot course so far was interesting but after this talk it sure is becoming more exciting.

Never imagined I could draw a creature from imagination but after the lesson, I looked at my own photographs of Yellowstone wildlife, I came up with this creature which has a face and a body sort of a cow with deer antlers. neck like a reflection of a swan and how can I not have wings when it only has two legs. since it was from my imagination i was not fearful of the proportions so I was more confident with drawing lines.

Fun warm up exercise. I can see how drawing every day is helping. Here are my submission for warmup

Tried sketching with pen in order to force myself not erasing on day 9

Day 8, surprised at myself that I could keep up with the challenge with all the projects going on

Day 7, challenge continues,

Day 6 , made a line drawing of a clay and wood stove that I took a picture of in Peru.

Tried all 4. For me the boots were most difficult as I was trying more to be correct with proportion. The others I concentrated more on drawing confident lines. Was drawing from shoulder but sometimes hand was shaking too much

day 5 tried some perspective

4th day challenge done, but forgot to post so here it is.

Snail and boots done. Boots were harder took more time. Tomorrow will attempt skull and camel.

After doing the level one boot and snail exercise wanted to do something simple so got a photograph of a rose from my garden that I had shot few years ago and did a quick study.

Day 3, getting faster at drawing doesn't mean better, but trying. In the process I am having lot of fun.

Day 2 more practice needed so can be faster and more accurate, enjoying the challenge

1st day challenge, middle of an important project but was able to do it. Tomorrow onwards dedicated time set for the challenge.

Sorry for posting without the picture. First day's assignment, learned to control pencil strokes will try to get better tomorrow. Fun assignment

first day's practice was little hard but learned how to control pencil strokes. will try more tomorrow to be better at it
