Today I'm showing you a quick sketch of still-life with books. It's a very simple idea and yet it gave me an opportunity to play with a complicated structure and a variety of sizes. So, on the whole, it was a pretty crazy task. I will only say that it is the kind of sketch you usually don't know where to start :))) Especially if it is supposed to be quick!
"Sketch of Books", 20x28 cm, pencil on paper
It came out very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle :)
DeleteI think you did a beautiful job. They look very realistic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brandi, you're very kind :)
DeleteDid you use a ruler at any point? Some of those lines are amazing if they were freehand! I love this one.
ReplyDeleteNo, they were all freehand. Thanks, Em!
DeleteThis reminds me of an art class I took years ago (when I was still living in Hamburg). We had to draw a pile of books, which seemed ridiculously easy at first - until you noticed that you got the perspective all wrong. Quite a chastising experience! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Karin. That's exactly what I ment.
