Drawing Homework (IVAN'S GROUP)

To complement the work we have been doing in class you should make a sustained full page pencil tonal drawing from your still life photos. You should aim to spend 4-5 hours on this drawing and complete it by Monday 14th September (it will be assessed as part of your project).
Select a good photographic image that is relatively complex (probably best to get something from a different viewpoint than your observational painting). Set your composition out carefully with a B/HB pencil in line then add a range of tones using softer pencils (2B - 6B), make sure your darkest tones use the full depth of tone you can achieve (press hard).
This should be a sustained piece that shows off your drawing ability to the full, you might use a rubber to help you pick out the highlights.
