For some reason I really love drawing or painting random stuff in my our kitchen. Tonight I was being watched intently by a bunch of animals, some look a bit fierce.
The Drawing
For some reason I really liked all of the black eyes looking at me, even in the reflection. I was vaguely reminded of old 80’s movies where toys would come alive and terrorize people.
Very fun drawing, I really wanted to try and capture the different textures here, I didn’t do so well though, I was rushing a bit even though I spent over two hours on the drawing.
The Setup
I know I have said it before but I love my current quick sketch setup. I need to do a post on my materials one day.
Progression
The most important part is the beginning and getting all the measurements correct. I used an “F” graphite pencil here to put down some very light lines. Then I go over the drawing again and refine it with a “2B” graphite pencil that way once I put a wash on it I can still see the lines well.
After working on the drawing for a while with a few washes of lamp black Holbein watercolor.
Close to the end, after the water color I love working back into it and working on edges with more graphite. Bad picture here, at least the subject is in focus.
