I enjoyed the curtain homework quite a bit. Setting up my own still life and recreating it was quite rewarding... I also enjoyed the charcoal and larger scale paper but really didn't enjoy the black hands after I was done. Note to self: use slip paper to avoid sooooo many finger prints. I had to take about an hour to erase the finger prints out... lesson learned!!
I didn't have much trouble with this other than the learning curve of using charcoal.
Okay picture time..
I used a futon type chair, tripod, and light as environmental objects and props for the curtain (well, blanket..). When drawing this, the light was on however I turned it off to take the picture.
My appologies for the crappy photo quality. The only workable camera that hasn't gone on strike or a trip with family members at the moment is my iphone camera.. you'd think they could manage to put a more viable camera in their phones.....
This is here for kicks and giggles. While taking photos of the curtain my bird flew from her cage and landed on my still life. Apparently she thought the still life was missing some color?
Interesting still life. And try to calm your OCD a bit. I'm not hugely concerned about fingerprints on the drawing. That's going to happen with charcoal pencil ruler drawings.
