I finally did another sketch :) In keeping with my wife's suggestion that I use only pens (to build my confidence), here's my latest sketch. I briefly read through the EDM list a week or so ago and one of the few that I could remember was EDM #17 - Draw a musical instrument. While I do play guitar and have one sitting in the livingroom, I decided I wanted to draw something a bit more classical. I found this wonderful image of a violin in the process of being built and had to give it a shot!
The original image has a nice glass lamp sitting on the table above the violin. I initially decided that I wasn't going to include it on the sketch but when I was done, that top left corner seemed awfully empty. I added the lamp, but now I'm wishing I didn't. I'm actually pretty pleased with the rest of it, for it being a 15 min sketch with only pens.
A very nice sketch! And you took such a short time to do so too =) That has to be a great achievement!
ReplyDeleteCool!! This looks so good!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! You did a wonderful job...you're on your way. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteKeep listening to your wife. Nice sketch!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Terry. And straight onto the paper with pen. I tried doing that too when I first read Danny's book but more recently I've been penciling first and then drawing over in pen. I think I probably need to go back to pen because at least that way you can see where your mistakes are and learn from them. But your sketch is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the kind comments. Give me some motivation to continue :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent sketch! I think you must have been picking up skills while watching your wife work! or osmosis or something! :D
ReplyDeleteI think this is a splendid piece! You did a great job with the perspective and shading. Keep going - you're doing fine!! nancy
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch! Er, might it be that the artist's husband is an artist? You don't fool me!
