To introduce a bit of colour, I decided that I would make the skull look almost completely white and put it onto a very colourful background. I took the pattern from the middle of the carpet in our living room. I was going to do it very bold, but after I'd done the first coat, I realised I quite liked the faded, patchy look. Not that the carpet is... very much.
This is a blog of all my (non-sketchbook) artwork during my OCA drawing course - although I have been on the course a while, I neglected writing much about it until started the blog, and had a backlog of things to share. So it may start in a very prolific way, and when I have caught up with my work at the present, tail off slightly. But anyway - this is my online log of the artwork I've done, and my notes on it - I keep the other part of my log: the places I've been, things I like, artists I've looked at, in a book like a sketchbook. I thought this would be the best way, so that I could keep a photographic record of all my drawings in case they get lost or damaged, and a book of pasted in pictures I'm ok about writing around (and to avoid any copyright issues from embedding other people's work!). It just works best for me. Just a couple of notes to add: All my 'old' drawings are from mid '09, and I've included them to help show my progress. The posts without 'old' in the title are drawings from after I started the course to the present.
