New Graphite!

Drawings from tonight.
Some models are easier to draw than others.
Madeline is very easy to draw.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting worse.  HAHA

One of the best things about taking a class is the supply list!!!
Usually I already have pretty much everything, but Kevin has clutch pencils on his list, and he uses them a lot in the live demos.

So of course I need whatever he has.

I used my new graphite tonight.
Clutch pencils handle differently than either wood pencils or solid graphite pencils.
They are not like typical mechanical pencils with those dreadful skinny leads.

I freaking LOVE them.

The holders I got both came with 2B leads, but I ordered HB and B leads and took out the 2Bs.

I kind of want another for 2B leads.

They have a special sharpener which I had to youtube to figure out.
It is an extremely clever design, once you know how the heck to use it.


I still have to finish my homework!!!

Update: I finished my homework!
It was hard. :(

  1. You homework looks good. I like it all. I don't see how you think you are getting worse. Hmmmm I need some new art supplies. Since Dick Blick closed in our area it is not so much fun to purchase art supplies. I am a touchy feely shopper.
