that center thing was supposed to be chest hair, but I did it when the pose was over and I didn't think of aligning it, then I was to lazy to erase it but oh well
I did more then just this but this was near the end, the rest are pretty sloppy because I was practicing with a new form of toning that i learned today
yahhh the whole heavy darkness thing is beginning to finally die off, which is nice but now I got a wholee new load of things to work out,
One thing I will remember though is when I plan losing the ear in shadow, to still use a slightly dark enough line to indicate the top half so it doesn't look lopped off
Loom I think I am going to need your help shooting some reference tonight. Probably around 5:30-6:00 if you can. I can't remember if you have an afternoon class. You get to be the kid walking in on the bearded lady. Do you have a t-shirt with short sleeves?
Nice drawing by the way, good likeness. Much better control of your values overall.
so today my speed in creating master copies nearly tripled, I spent about a hour and a half just trying to figure it out and then about 50 minutes left of class I did this
anddd then my 20 minute head lay ins
my instructor showed me how to lay in eyes that are downward and explained more with tone
probably one of my most-hated drawing instruments...and only because of the scratchiness, really! Are those scratchy?
(I had to use a charcoal pencil for a still life in one of my art classes, years ago...I had goosebumps for the entire 3-hour class, every class)
Yeah I don't like to use the charcoal pencils as much as most of the other students here. They give me that nails on chalkboard feeling. Though, the conte charcoal pencils are nowhere near as bad as the Wolf Carbon or Primos. And there really is no other tool that is so versatile and quick for drawing.
I hate wolf carbons, I'm just going to stick with conte pencils until they stop existing, then I will cry in my bedroom with the lights off while sharpening wolf carbons
I know this isn't drawing/sketching/whatever related......
But I've noticed that a lot of painters/sketchers (noooo not the shoes)/artists who do art in the traditional mediums don't think that jewelry is art.
This is frustrating to me because I can spend hours on a piece and have people say 'It's not art. Did you make the beads? the wire? the findings? No? then it's just a craft'
btw the jewelry I make is not the seed bead knitting stuff, which usually is considered art.
I have to use color palettes and deal with scale and all that jazz, but jewelry also has to be wearable...which is why I don't understand why people think it's so damn easy. If I can paint a red circle in the bottom left corner of a canvas and leave the rest blank and have it be considered art, why the hell can't a necklace be put into the same category?
I just want to know people's perspective on this

we dont make the charcoal pencils, brushes, the canvas, and most dont make their own gesso and oil paint or paint in general. Thats what fascinates so many people about art, the materials are rather ordinary and they are given value through application of time and skill.

My perspective is that you should have posted this in the Questions/Discussion/Tutorials thread or the chat thread, rather than the first thread you happened to come across.

I like your perspective
Thanks for cheering me up

Yeah I am not sure exactly why you chose Loom's thread for this and not say the Discussion thread. But I don't mind derailing Loomdun's thread at all!
I don't really know what you are talking about honestly. I don't consider painting a red circle in the bottom left corner of a canvas and leaving the rest blank art, and I used to do some silver-smithing and jewelry craft myself...I was actually pretty decent at it. So I think you are kind of playing the martyr here a bit. People love jewelry and have a lot of respect for the people who make it. I don't think it requires the same skillset as doing a figurative painting, but not many things do.
If you are pissed about people painting red circles think how pissed real painters get when they have to spend months on a painting and then some douche does that. It's enough to make you hate humanity.

I'm terribly sorry for wasting the 30 seconds it took you to read that...I'll be more careful in the future.

2 minute ones
oh gosh, this made me laugh too hard
Captain God King.
That's going in my lexicon.
It's very subtle, i think some of your other drawings have been a little heavy handed.

Oh wow lady! She can be my saloon wench anyday.
Each update I just get more and more excited for you.

Yeah, same here. Good to know, then! I will completely ignore Mr.Bacon, and avoid the Wolf brand of charcoal pencil.

You aren't going to last long around here.
