This is the first week of the second semester with Sketchbook Skool. Danny Gregory is our first instructor. The focus of this 6-week class is ‘seeing’ — not what we think we see, but what is actually in front of us. The lectures are thoughtful; the homework is challenging.
First assignment: Draw a piece of toast. Click on image for a larger view.
The assignment was to sketch every detail we could see, with the option of sketching just a portion of the toast. I spent about 45 minutes capturing a bit over one-third of this slice of toast. I used a PITT artist pen S. It took serious concentration and still I was lost in the nooks and crannies a couple of times.
A most interesting assignment and result!
I still have the toast and will probably turn it over and select a new portion to sketch. Can’t hurt my skills.
