Pumpkin sketches
The weekends always go by way too fast. Still, I managed some quick sketches. Didn’t quite finish the page I was working on, but I’d rather post a WIP photo here then wait until it’s done. Seasonal studies, yay! ^_^. My mom gave me a pumpkin on a recent visit – it’s larger than the small ones we grew in the garden this year, and barely fit in my still life box/lighting box, but it still made a great object to study. Especially the twisting planes of the stem.

Sketching apples, peppers, & leaves
I managed to finish day 2 of 14 days of graphite drawing yesterday, yay! Of course I haven’t done today’s drawing…yet ^_^*. I got to use my cardboard box still life diorama thing for the first time, too. It has a hole cut out of the top that I can place a light against, to have really harsh shadows, rather than the general ambient light of a typical well-lit room. And I’ve also got a bonus page with studies of leaves to share – so that next time I’m hiking, I feel better prepared to draw forest landscapes.

Autumn Leaves and Graphite Pencils
In which I draw a few trees and play with graphite pencils.
