UPDATE, Art (drawing practice)

This practice exercise required rectangles in two columns, with all internal sections shaded from left to right, lightest to darkest in Chiaroscuro fashion. Above each rectangle are instructions for the individual portions of this exercise, with the left column using the pencil tip only and the right column using the full length of the lead.

Today's sketch practice, plus testing different point sizes.

There are some really nice pencil sets out there, but at $7 & change, this #MrPen set is perfect for testing the feel and other differences in graphite sizes/weigh.

I'll continue the row hatching exercises for another week or two, because I want to self-determine the lengths and gaps instead of it being determined by my lack of skill.

Before we run, we learn to walk.
Before we walk, we reach and stand.
Before we cross-hatch, we practice hatch.

Getting these lines down so they look consistently good is going to require a lot more practice. I should make this a #Habitica Daily until I draw them even and easily from muscle memory.

I'm devoting time this year to level up my drawing and sketching proficiency. No more will I envy fellow artists, as these skills only require mindful practice to improve!

Lower grid results surprised me given the silicone-tip tool trend. Natural brushes are great if the bristles are compact and firm; just gotta convince the #BrainJays it's OKAY to alter MY TOOLS!
