Art dump

The Creative Sketchbooking course has been more about drawing stuff this term so far - much more my comfort zone than playing with flour and chalk.
I posted the right hand page before but the umbrella pic is new.

Here it is close up. Drawn with a Japanese brush felt tip pen.

Then last week we were trying to measure and get perspective by using one point on a reference picture and then scanning out from here to any points of interest. It was hard! But this time I chose a photo from a nice coffee table book about the TV series of Game of Thrones.

And again this week, we were trying using water to soften lines so this is using a black watercolour pencil. I know nothing, Jon Snow!

I love the effects, so I'll definitely be trying this again, though I did my usual thing of getting the nose and hence the whole face too long.
Got to admit, now I'm taking my own source pics, I'm enjoying the whole thing a lot more!

Okay, but I LOVE the drawing of the children. But everything else is gorgeous too!

There's something about the umbrellas that I really like. I don't know why, there's just something really lovely about it. <3

I'm with Toratio, no idea why but I have a huge love for the umbrella one, not that everything else isn't gorgeous!

Jon Snow is very nice. I don't know much about it, except I avoid the fandom like Twilight. (Those are two fandoms the scare the fecal matter out of me.)

The picture of the of the kids... that makes me sad. The Umbrellas is cool. The Tree, makes me think of Death. A Grim Reaper walking. Maybe that is why the kids picture makes me sad.

I'm very partial to the tree because I like the non-linear border and the way it curves. The umbrellas are something special though. Maybe it's the light and dark contrast but also I think the ink stokes look like sheets of rain. So very cool.

The umbrellas are awesome and kinda remind me of the high-angle shot of the townspeople under the umbrellas in "Scarecrow". :D

Very Jon Snow, too!

The umbrella piece is very eye-catching - I think your style really suits that brush felt tip pen! And Jon Snow - lovely!!!!

I agree with most of the others about loving the umbrella one, and for me it actually looks like it's raining!

Jon Snow is beautiful, I love his hair, but I agree with you that his nose isn't quite right.

I love the contrast in the umbrella pic; it's really pulling me in. Nice portrait!
