The other is an attempt to capture a scultpture my wife and I were given for our wedding. Given it's complex shape and my lack of experience, it may have been a bit over my head:
As you can see, the shading is a little off, and the shape of the inner arch doesn't look quite right (in real life it's a bit more elegant of a curvature). However, it was a good learning experience. Given a chance to do it over, I would have backed off on the background shading, made the shadow a little more relevant to the shape of the object, and been more exacting about where the inner arch meets it's right hand base. Oh well, with practice comes knowledge.

Ethan, you're doing great! It's all a matter of seeing and you're definitely using your eyes. I'll enjoy reading about and seeing your drawings.

Yeah! I'm turning one of Lorentz's rooms into an art room (don't tell him - it's one of the upstairs rooms, so he'll never know).
ReplyDeleteYou should come over and draw or paint with me sometime. I've been meaning to get back into it.
