This week at life drawing, we were pushing the way you think about creating a charcoal drawing by first covering the whole of the paper in charcoal (as you see in the background). We had those putty rubbers so that we could rub off the charcoal to carve out the highlights and details of the face.

 In order to get a more 3D feel to this drawing, we used curved lines. I think this is quite a good piece.. I'm not really sure why. Maybe I like the lines?

This picture was fun. As we can see I used coloured pastels. Each colour belongs to a different shade on the model. I think it just makes the whole picture more exciting, especially with the contrasting greens and reds.
