Eagles Head

Today we are drawing on gray paper with pencil and a white coloured pencil. Although this images has been digitally produced it is suitable for a good drawing.  Notice that precise lines have been used in the focal point area and rather sketchy loose lines in the background.

Boston Terrier

The main idea about this drawing is to add fur that has almost no fur lines but is drawn as masses of tonal gray-scale.

Draw an Orange

Once again, when choosing something to draw think of your composition. In this case the drawing looks interesting because it is half peeled and a few single orange sections have been set aside. It is important also to leave a lot of clear white within the orange for contrast. The little dots I usually do with an embossing tool. If you do not know what that is, look at my art material glossary page. The tool presses small round indents into the paper which makes it easy to draw over it leaving clear white dots. 

Drafting Compass

Such a simple item can be such good exercise for drawing. 

The drawing works well because the background is a softer midtone and the compass itself is greatly contrast rich displaying both almost complete black and very light areas.

Fork and Such

This image depict drama by drawing the fork in such foreshortening way.  You could do this type of drawing to endless other simple objects and would always create an impressive drawing.

Draw an Old Face

This drawing will take at least two days, so you might want to finish it on your catch up day. Notice that the face is quiet foreshortened. Imagine the line on which the eyes are place and see that the mouth is much straighter in comparison. This portrait could be done in pencil, pen or ink. In pen or ink you have to do create the features with cross-hatching. 

Catch Up Day

Today you can either rest, or try to finish some of the uncompleted work due for this week. ​​
