I thought I would start a post to contain all the art that I post—keeping one in one place and documenting my journey.
As you may have seen in my introduction post, I have inherited my granddad’s pastels, which have inspired me to start creating art again. I haven’t drawn anything for about 20 years, and even then, I never finished a single piece. I remember enjoying drawing landscapes and buildings in my teenage years.
I am excited to try new mediums.
I started this new journey by finding the ‘Anyone can draw’ webinar. Here is my attempt at the trainer drawing at the end.
Thank you for sharing your journey, how special it is to be creating again with your granddad’s pastels. I love that you’re honoring his memory in such a creative and meaningful way.
Your drawing from the ‘Anyone Can Draw’ webinar is fantastic, especially after such a long break! It’s inspiring to see you dive back in and explore new mediums. I’m excited to follow along with your progress; keeping everything in one post is a great idea.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work as your journey unfolds!
I plan to go through the ‘25 to Better Drawing’, and then I am looking at the ‘The Secrets to Drawing’ course.
I already have an idea for my first project using my Granddad’s pastels, but I want to get to know and practice with them first. I am going to get my hands on a new set to practice with.
On Wednesday, I did Day 1 of the ‘25 Days to Better Drawing’. In my trainer drawing, I used only a 2B pencil and ended up with a shine on the darker areas. I also didn’t like how dark my initial shape outlines were, so in this one, I drew the shape outlines with an HB and then used HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, and 8B for the values.
