So for the longest time one of my greatest difficulties and fears has been drawing. As an art major there can be a lot of pressure to be an all around artist rather than just a digital one.
One of the things that comes with being an "all around artist" is the ability to draw from sight. Something that I had never succeeded at... but wait ... to be honest before then most of the times I tried drawing were in middle school art and just doodling on a paper.
So finally I got up the courage to sign up for a drawing class and learn some of the skills.
After many primary sketches the first major project was assigned. We had to draw a still life of Bottles, Books, Pumpkins, and a huge skull! I had never attempted a project quite so involving and I was honestly a little intimidated. But I put in the hard work, line by line, until I finally ended with something that I felt comfortable turning in.
My second major project was a close up of a wheel. The wheel was my choice and for the life of me I am not sure what made me choose it! The angle that the wheel sat on made the entire drawing extremely difficult.
I have finally worked up the courage to post something that I have been uncomfortable with.
This is my adventure learning to draw and it is still on going. Please tell me what you think and I will be sure to post some pencil drawings next!
