Apple Still Life
This piece was a basic assessment in an art class to showcase our ability to use charcoal as a medium, and our skills regarding contrast and lighting. It is charcoal on paper, and took about an hour and a half.
Plant Still Life
The exact kind of plant is unknown to me, but this was practice in using white charcoal in addition to charcoal sticks and blocks. Stylization was encouraged so long as I adhered to the medium.
Uninspired Pumpkin
I can use watercolors and ink when given more time, but I really am more of a pencil person. Hense the title. I was not greatly inspired to work with brush ink. I was given roughly an hour to work on this, and feel I still have much to improve on.
More Inspired Pumpkin
Maybe I have more of a problem with the brush itself rather than the ink, because I greatly enjoyed working with a stick and ink for this piece. I do wish I had more time to flesh out the background, but I am still much happier with this one.
Self Portrait with the Wrong Nose
This is a 18x24 inch self portrait using micron pens. It took a little over 2 weeks to finish intermittently. I am happy with the edits I made from the original photo, and happy with the lighting. I am not happy with the shape of my nose.
