Head Drawing:Module 5


What I can say is, "This is not my drawing..." 

Mr. Tomutsu was not in the classroom in this afternoon. The reason surprised me. He had to see the doctor. Why did he has to see the doctor? It was because he got hit by a car!!!! In this morning, I noticed that he was lame. I thought that he just got sprain or some other small injuries and never thought that it was a car accident.  He said he was lucky, and had a strange experience. I believed that and hoped that I won't have the same experience forever....

Let's go Back to my drawing today!  Originally, I thought that it would became a easy day because Mr. Tomutsu wasn't there.

Sustained Figurative Concepts:Module 4


Bill told us he wanted to grade today's work as a mid-term grade suddenly. This announcement made me draw this one very carefully. But the effect of color I used was not that good, I have to think about it later. Today, we drew two drawings by turns. One was Standing figure, and the other was head. I did my head drawing ugly. What I can say is that I really have to practice harder.

Head Drawing:Module 4


It is getting better, today. When I started to use tissues to blend the charcoal pencil strokes, the annoying black spots disappeared. It seemed that it was easy to control the values. However, I was so frustrated about that the proportion of this drawing was still corrected by the teacher. This meant that I still repeated the same mistake. I hope that I won't do it again in my future drawings or paintings...

Workshop Practice


The teacher Bill of this workshop was not that Bill I expected. But he was a funny guy. The idea he taught matched mine, so he didn't have too much opinion on my drawing. The main reason why I went to the workshop is that I want to practice. Besides, I felt bored at home and needed some fresh air.(?) I was glade that I still got feeling about drawing 20 mins sketch. I have to admitted that I had a good time with drawing in a relax environment.

Sustained Figurative Concepts:Module 3


"It's looking good!" was Bill's comment to the left painting, though I had no idea how it looked good.  Compare to his work, mine was so rough. And I didn't know how can he draw that intricate painting in that short time, especially with nupastel. But I learned something today. I started to see the green color on the reflect light. I heard the theory of painting.  I tried to keep these new things in my mind. That's why I am here. And that's why I enjoy every class I take here. Next Wednesday, I hope that I can still have my feeling about using nupastel.

Head Drawing:Module 3


I tried to follow the steps that our teacher taught us to draw the head today. However, It was not easy to give up all instinct and force myself to draw in a unfamiliar way. I had no idea why Mr.  Tomutsu came and ask about my drawing twice. Maybe he couldn't tolerate my ugly drawing today....:p In the afternoon, he came and did some demo on my drawing. So, That's what you see on the top. Actually, after he finished his demo. I had no idea how to continue my drawing. I felt that every stroke I made was a damage. I hope that I learned something from this demo. There is still lots of skills I have to catch...

Head Drawing:Assignment 1:Master Copy



Insisting on using only Charcoal pencil to draw made me suffer a fiasco. Though the biggest problem of this drawing was bad proportion, using charcoal pencil still caused some damages. Th criticism I heard today was the worst one after I came here to study. I was so angry that I made so many mistakes on this drawing. However, that was a good thing to me. It told me that I still got lots thing to learn. I think that I have to work harder in this semester.
