This week we tackled inking and cross hatching in preparation for the final DRAW assignment. As the accompanying images show, students had to rough out the subject in pencil before drawing over it with a pen. Photo was referenced here.
Decided to do another piece at Holland Village. This time I sat on the sidewalk across the street and sketched for close to 2 hours. Pen on A4 sketchbook.
Sat at the nearby food centre to sketch a section of the street. Luckily it was early enough to not be crowded. I actually didn’t realize there is a mock windmill on that roof until recently. I wonder how long it’s been up there? Anyway, I did mess up a few of the little details,…

This week we spent 2 sessions (around 4 hours) drawing a tree. Pencil on A3 paper.
This is my attempt at one of the set-ups for this week’s DRAW module still life test. Students are given approximately 6 hours to complete. Pencil on A3 paper.
As preparation for the DRAW test next week, students were tasked to depict a set objects made of different materials: metal, glass and fabric. Pencil on A3 paper.
This week for DRAW students had a couple of hours to draw a set of objects placed under a single directional light. The emphasis is still on proportion and values. Done in pencil on A3 paper.
