-
@Geoffrey-Anderson your hatching on the forms is spot on and well done. Although it kind've makes them look like leeches. Hahaha.

I’ve been breezing through the videos with out doing much practice only doing what I wanted thinking I knew how to do this.
That's what I used to do, too. Once I realized that wasn't working I really started to improve
It's amazing how long I went without really knowing how to draw basic shapes :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: -

How is it possible to get such a consistent thin hatching lines with a brush pen.
A faustian bargain

Dip pen on Bristol board using orange ink. It’s great to have a reason to use all of these colored inks that have been sitting around. I also discovered that the hatching works better if I flip my dip pen over - I get finer lines and it doesn’t blot.

@chrisaakins Haha, thanks!

Okay folks after two hours of driving (my commute hour each way) ten hours of work, walking puppy, and cuddling parrots I finally got some time to draw.. decided to use the brush pen for my blobs today and quickly discovered I might benefit from more line practice with the brush pen so here is my mix for the days home work. Sadly not quite a full page I hope to do better tomorrow
now for some food and rest before the restart tomorrow!
-
@Aleksey thanx!
drawing those blobs the first day made me think of jellybeans 
-
I'm having SOME success imagining the blobs as really weird oranges. I mark each 'orange' into sections and shade one section at a time. Kinda helps
-
@Braden-Hallett i really love your shapes on the bottom the transparent sphere looks really cool
-
@ambiirae Thanks! Transparent stuff is always hit or miss with me
-
Really enjoyed this exercise, its beginning to helps me loosen up. I think I might make this one a daily for the next little while. Next up...shapes
-
@Erin-Cortese It helps loosen me up too! It definitely is helping me get over my fear of hatching
-
Didn't have much time so I did a bird nest.
-
@Erin-Cortese I agree that these shapes are the best for loosening up—good idea to incorporate into daily practice! I find the shapes more stressful because I have to think more
Daily accountability: (longer straight lines feel less wobbly and a bit more controlled and this is just week 3
)
-
@chrisaakins nice!
-
@Braden-Hallett great shape transformations!
-
@demotlj wow, what you can do with a dip pen!
