Graphite

This year I'm taking a break from making digital art and learning to work on paper. I decided to start with graphite. These images are organized from most recent to oldest. I'll be exploring different techniques and approaches to drawing throughout the year. I don't have access to a good scanner, so the lighting on the images is inconsistent and sometimes uneven. 

"Every drawing is practice for the next one." - John Muir Laws

"As practice makes perfect I cannot but make progress; 

each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward." - Van Gogh

What would life be like if we had no courage to attempt anything? - Van Gogh

"If your goal is to make pretty pictures, then every time a drawing does not work out the way you wanted, you will be disappointed and then less likely to pick up your pencil the next time. Instead, make it your goal to learn to observe more closely and to remember what you have seen. With these goals, every drawing will be a success and you will keep drawing." - John Muir Laws
