Project Still Life (Page 34)

Early sketches of various baby toys, looking at different shapes and textures before attempting any compositions for the assignments. 


Cute looking Elephant Flannel : I enjoyed working on this piece but felt  I was taking too long to do just one sketch, this probably took me over an hour  (per sketch) so what I wanted to do, was speed up and be a more freer with my sketches.  

Probably not as tidy as the Elephant Flannel but I think I am too much of a perfectionist, treating drafts & sketches as main pieces and it is slowing me down. As stated, I have found one of my weaknesses is sometimes not getting the proportions right when rushed, but then again, I am happy not to have used an eraser, only ink.


My Point Of View of the cone
Initially for my Natural Forms Assignment, I thought of doing a display of shells, but  they proved to small to successfully create a display from and so I switched to fruit.

Interestingly, I think the course is making me observe and take notice more, as I just spotted an interesting shadow, cast over my sunglasses, so I did a reasonably quick sketch.





Basically, above is a couple of Still Life exercises but done at pace, considering that is the thing I am most concerned about. I am pleased that the proportions look correct and I quite like the Head Phones and wires coming from the modem.
