Description

First Assignment - Monday
Time: 11:00 to 19:30

Draw a still life from at least three objects - cup, glas, bottle, plate, bowl, vase - creating a harmonic composition.

Fill the objects with diverse structures and textures. Do not disregard the actual surface propertiess of the choosen objects.

Media: pencil, colored pencil
Format: DIN A 3


Monday started with a real bummer. Nobody was all too happy to see the asignment but at least it was nice to be done with it right after the first day. We grabbed all the objects we wanted to use and nature objects like leaves, fir cones, pieces of bark or wood, stones and whatever since we had to draw those textures onto the still life objects.

Since at least some colored pencil usage was mandatory I decided to use them right on the first object, so I would not have to work with them while time is running out at the end.
And time goes by so quickly. selecting objects, drawing some composition sketches, blocking in objects, sharpening pencils sharpening pencils and some more sharpening pencils.
In hindsight a good decision because time did run out on me badly. :)
Spending a lot of time on the nice reflections and refractions of the glass I had only little time left to do the big huge shiny and reflective brass vase. So I draw it like I stole it and try to slap some sponge texture onto it but fail miserably at the texture and finally time is over.
The first and shortest day of the intermediate examination ends and I wonder in anticipation what our teachers will have in store for us tomorrow.

Thanks a lot! Drawing that birch bork with colored pencils almost drove me crazy. they are so soft and lose the point so quickly and work diffent than pencils and I tend to sit with my nose too close to the paper so whatever i do with em looks like crap because of lacking viewing distance..cry-moan-sob.
It seems miss "Starmountain" *hrhrhr* was agreeing with you because I scored a nice grade on the assignment...better than expected to be honest.
