I decided a few weeks ago that i wanted to improve my (rudimentary) drawing skills. So i made a commitment to myself to do two one-hour drawing sessions a week. the three drawings I’m posting here represent my beginning efforts. The first two were done in charcoal. I had forgotten how messy that can be, so for last week’s efforts i switched to graphite pencils and then added a bit of color. I had to keep within the one-hour self-assigned time frame, so obviously there could be quite a number of improvements made, had i taken more time. Nevertheless, i am pleased that i am learning as i go. References for the first two drawings were photos from various sources., For the third i was outdoors at a local state park for a plein air art day.
Note: I have a 4th drawing — actually the first — but forgot to photograph it for this post. Another time.
