Life Drawing 04/11/14

This week's exercises helped to better familiarity with a variety of mediums: ballpoint pen, charcoal and calk. Usually I enjoy using ballpoint pen to draw, but the size of the paper makes my linework seem very weedy on this scale. Beginning a study in chalk on white paper was even more impossible than charcoal on black paper, but the addition of the contrasting medium created some eye-catching effects. I will aim to try bolder lines and smoother smudging when I next attempt charcoal.
