20080625-mass, originally uploaded by DevilCrayon. Another art school lesson, but one I’ve not done before. I got it from Nancy Doyle’s Art Instruction page. Proportions are a little off, but better than I was expecting for a first shot at this sort of thing.

My water cup. Very exciting. Perspective and scale aren’t great, but you can tell it’s a cup, so that’s something. This was the first try with the fancy brush tip, […]
Tagged brush pen, contourOnce I got my fancy new supplies, I went down to the Bulb to draw some things. These are the things I drew. They are pretty thoroughly terrible, but that’s to be expected for the first real attempt at anything beyond phone-doodles in … HOBO-HUMPING CHRIST! 15 years? Really? Yeah. OK. really. The first of […]
Tagged bulb, charcoal, graphiteHi, I’m DevilCrayon. Long ago I used to take art classes in school and enjoyed them pretty well. It’s now been a good number of years and whatever skills I’d developed are extremely rusty. I want to knock some of that rust off and maybe add a layer of Rust-Oleum®. So, to get started today […]
