amberdreamsTime flies! I didn't realise until I checked, but I haven't done an update since December, so I don't feel like I'm spamming you by posting now LOL.
Sketchbook update since January
Trying some colour theory stuff, just using watercolours and no drawing first. They weren't supposed to be accurate representations of the references, which is always a relief!
Playing with the same elements and trying out different compositions to change the feeling the picture gives you.
This next one is from last night. We were supposed to be trying to add dramatic effect to a composition, working from black & white photos and adding whatever colours we fancied. This is the second train I've ever drawn! Our tutor found some references he liked, so this term trains keep popping up.
This is a train from earlier this term when we were doing perspective freehand, no rulers or guidelines. I was pleased with how both of them turned out, since normally I'd run a mile before tackling drawing machinery of any kind!
Last weekend I went to London for a day's tutored drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum, which was pretty fun. I might do a separate post on that, though we only ended up with 4 drawings from the day. The tutor was good, but I've already forgotten some of the handy tips she gave us! Doh.
