Work has been crazy busy lately (have I mentioned how much I hate being stuck behind a desk all day??) and I'm moving in two weeks so the packing has begun! All this has led to very little painting time! :( The current painting project is for my first joint giveaway with Adam at http://roofbeamreader.wordpress.com/, but I don't think it'll be ready for another week or so. I don't want to go too long without updating this, so here are a few pencil/charcoal sketches done recently.
I may turn this elephant one into a painting at some point.
My dad made these candles for me and I thought it'd be fun to give the shapes/colors a try.
The fist doesn't look too bad, but I struggled with the open hand. I kept referencing it at a slightly different angle lol. The thumb in particular is goofy. Well, they say hands and feet are a couple of the hardest things to draw!
Wow, they're all beautiful Shannon! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the elephant! :D
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are beautiful! I also have a weakness for the elephant .... Good move.
ReplyDeleteThe hands are really good - those are tough. I can't draw anyway, but hands were always more difficult than anything for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAlso - www.roofbeamreader.net is the URL. ;) Can't wait for the giveaway!
