Drawing an Orange

Task 13

The orange got distorted as I draw on the Picture Plane so didn't really turn on the right shape in the end but I don't think it looks to bad in the end.

      

Drawing a Flower

Task 12

I found this task difficult, just to draw the lines around it and no shading looks really bad.

Drawing My Hand with An Object

This is task 11 and I have already drawn my hand and this task was to hold something and draw it. I first had to place the Picture Plane/Viewfinder over my hand cover one eye and draw around the lines of my hand. 

I then shaded the space I was going to draw my hand. This adds a middle ground for shading and I prefer to work on a space that already has something than just a white space. 

I got it wrong to start with but restarted and made it look better.  Having a middle shaded space I could make it darker with going over it or make it lighter with an eraser.

Finished Piece

I think I could have added more shading to the piece, looking at it now but I'm very happy with it compared to my first drawing. 

Drawing

Today I started this book, it has 44 different tasks to help me improve my drawing. The first task was to draw a self portrait which is below. I will be showing a few drawings as I go along.
