Drawing Lab 11 part two

Did some more Cheater Blinds and tried some color too...

Drawing Lab 9 & 11

After taking some photographic detour I got back on track with my drawing exercises (Drawing Lab by Carla Sonheim). Most of them are easy to do and more important: fun!!
Drawing Lab 9: Wrong-handed portaits and Drawing Lab 11: Cheater Blinds were both kind of BlindContourDrawing exercises. Did those alot, but I never succeed doing the drawing without looking at my paper. Lucky me: cheating was allowed;)

Drawing Lab 8

Lab 8: Imaginary Creatures

The pages for this Lab have been lying on and around my drawing table for a year... You're supposed to paint sheets of paper with red, blue and yellow watercolor, just random marks. After you've done this, look at the paper and try to find creatures in your paint.
I painted the paper, saw nothing in there and put it aside to look at it later...A couple of times (when cleaning my drawing table) I did try again, but there just was no creature there. That's kind of strange if you look at my past blogs: all creatures found in paint blobs. And after seeing all this great drawings made by other people doing the Drawing Lab assignments I made myself find something in there;))

Drawing Lab (old stuff)

Exactly one year ago I started doing some exercises from the book: Drawing Lab by Carla Sonheim. (In case you don't know this book, check out her website here).
The Labs are easy and fun. But after Lab 7 I had a lot of other things to do and never made it back to the book...untill today!!

You have to wait a little bit longer for the new Labs; in this blog only old stuff;))

Lab 1: Draw Cats In Bed

Lab 2: Blind Contour Giraffes
