Still Life Drawings (9th-17th July 2011)

Spent the past week or so doing some still life drawing, mainly focusing on the contents that were placed on top a chest of drawers in my bedroom. Some of them were successful, but I had fun trying to draw my coin sorter in several of these drawings.

Loomis Study- More 'Eternal Youth' Studies

These were a challenge to do. I was also experimenting with different pencils to achieve different ways to learn how to construct these faces from this book.

Loomis Study-'Eternal Youth' Studies

I have spent some time on holiday during the past week. Which means that I have a backload of several drawings to get through- and probably some photographs when I get around to sorting them out too.
So here are some studies on several more heads on a page from that Loomis book.

Loomis Study- A Lot of the 'Twenty Kids' Study

Some of these were successful, and some of them weren't.

Life Drawings, and the First Batch of 'Twenty Kids' Studies

My life drawings seem to be all over the place, with no major definition of the objects being drawn. On the other hand, I am able to fully understood how to construct several of these heads in this Twenty Kids exercise in Loomis' book.

Final Batch of "The Women Folk" Studies, and Life Drawings

I'm quite please with how the heads came out, showing an understanding of how the heads were constructed, as well as how they were drawn.
The life drawings were also successful, as they got me to loosen up when I was trying to draw this array of objects. Although, I prefer the bottom image, in terms of its composition, but the other drawing shows more effort towards overlapping, and spacial awareness of the objects.

Loomis Study- Even More Women Folks

These are okay, but I need to be careful of the proportion of the head, in relation to the hair.
