Quick Study...


This drawing was done using charcoal with the goal of capturing the depth of the still life. In this case, a plaster sculpture replaced an actual model but our technique was still rushed. The class was only assigned one hour to advance the drawing as far as possible. This sounds like plenty of time, but we had to make a good composition, rendering, and scale for a grade. I resorted to my technique of blending the charcoal with my fingers to quickly give the right shades where they were needed. This was a fun piece for me since it turned out well. Hope you like it.
