BIG drawings

This week’s drawing challenge was to take a detail from the small drawings of last week, and then to draw this detail on a piece of A2  ( I think!) paper, using a variety of marks, with either charcoal or graphite stick.  Gosh this was difficult.

Interestingly enough, the tutor thought the first one was the best, but I liked the third one most.

Return to drawing

With all that difficulty in discerning positive and negative space in my last post, it is just as well that I have returned to a drawing course at the Mary Ward Centre.  As ever, one of my personal learning objectives is " to draw every day".  In that spirit, here are this week's efforts.
