About Me

If I'm taking I also need to be making. If I'm receiving I need to be giving. If I'm using I need to be producing. This is my creed.

Meeting doodles

There was a meeting at church today, so I had a lot of time to make some fun drawings. The thing I want to study most recently is dramatic lighting. I'm getting flashbacks from Art History and Caravaggio, the catholic graphic artist. Dramatic lighting and perspective key traits of the Baroque painting style. I'm being a bit sheepish about it though, if I'm really going to study it I need to get some figures and actually light them up.  I also should use a softer pencil... I forgot mine today and was borrowing from random places. The first image I used a mechanical pencil and the BG was an HB. It was very fun and I'm glad I have something to show.

 I did this yesterday, the second piece in my tiny flower book. This project took back burner surprisingly fast despite my initial excitement for it. I'll try to do better this week.
