I ended up not really spending much time on it, and I couldn't see the shadows and shading from the picture I took. So, whatever, it was only a one day thing.
Our next project, that we're going to get an actual grade on (ahh!) is another still life. The thing with still lifes is...they're boring. I mean, literally, how much more boring can you get than those geometric shapes lined up on a table? Come on. But, on the other hand, it's not like I could do anything more exciting at this point. I wanted to get to drawing people or faces or something this semester, since the "people" I draw have been the same since 6th grade when I copied doodles out of "Amelia's Notebook."
But, anyway, we had a choice between two different little scenes that my professor set up. I wasn't really up to the task of trying to draw a huge vase full of fake flowers and leaves and stems and petals, so I chose this one.
This is the basic view, but I am doing a vertical drawing so I just narrowed it down to this:
(yup, that's a mobile upload)
The drawing's due on Thursday, but I will be on my way to Virginia with my field hockey team by then (to take on the #1 team in the nation, by the way...). So I have to turn my drawing in early. My only problem so far has been that I haven't been able to get into the studio during the same time of day as my class. The lighting is natural and coming in through the window, so if I go in at a different time all the shadows will be off.
Since we don't have practice tomorrow, and my painting class ends at 11 AM, I'll be able to work on it tomorrow. But again, the lighting will be off a little bit. I'll just have to work around it, maybe focus on just getting the shapes of everything down and then work on the shadows in class on Tuesday.
Here's what I've got so far (my view is a little different from the picture. And yes, I am defending myself here):
But hey, I'm fearless, right?
