    Hi, Tim,

    Thanks! I just used a #2 graphite pencil and somehow got lucky. I like the way that the drawing turned out, but to critique myself, I wish the face looked a little more like the woman posing. Unfortunately, there is no continuity to my posts of work, because I first posted in the wrong place, and then labeled the thread of posts incorrectly.  A number of examples of drawings and clay work are in a thread called 100 Day Art Challenge, Days 3, 4, & 5, but it has a lot of other days in it. I wish I knew how to link them all together, but I don’t.

    Speaking of art stuff shopping, I love how the instructors make a list of the items you’ll need for the different courses! I’ve ordered a lot from Blick Art Supplies, but am a little frustrated that so much was on backorder, so I’m still waiting for drawing pencils of various tones. Meanwhile, any drawing I’m doing tend to be done with a number 2 graphite pencil, the same one we’ve all used since grammar school, lol.

    Anyway, happy art stuff shopping and thanks again for your compliments,

    Beth

    Standing back I can see so much wrong with this and found it pretty overwhelming to do. I kept getting lost, mostly because the whole thing was off scale. Let’s just say that it was humbling.

    Somehow, my previous sequence of art for the 100 day challenge is under a different title, so all of my submissions are out of whack. The others say days 3, 4, & 5, I think.

    RBG took a tumble getting out of the car on the way from my makeshift home studio to my real studio. I had to redo her and struggled more with the glasses this time than I did initially. At least she got a new scarf and new scarf and earrings out of the mishap.

    Yes, I gave it a shot after a friend asked if I would try to make one for her. I ran out of a light brown clay I was working with, but fortunately that was right at the time that I needed to do her jewelry, robe, and glasses, and I happened to have a chocolate brown clay that I made those from. Since I had two shades of clay going anyway, then I decided to finish it off with white porcelain clay for a scarf. Since then, I’ve learned that I may have to replace the white porcelain with white stoneware clay because of a difference in shrinkage, although there’s nothing structural to worry about with the scarf, so I don’t know if that would really matter. Too much information, right? Anyway, I’m curious to see what the different clays look like fired together and if it looks okay after being bisqued, I may just put a matte glaze or spray on rather than try to paint it.

    Response to David went to page 2 for some reason.

    Thanks, David! I may go back to try to redo the eyes rather than start something new. I didn’t give the drawing the time it needed, and posted it anyway, but I was tired after a long day of doing therapy, drawing between cancellations. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it, lol, so I’ll ignore the fact that some artists can knock that kind of piece out so much better, live in 45 minutes. I still have to even work on the flowers, so we’ll see. Thanks for the shading compliments. I have a long way to go with that, too, but hopefully 84 more days of effort will help.

    Thanks again for your feedback.

    Best,

    Beth

    Day 16 of 100 Day Art ChallengeThis is unfinished, but it is my 16th day of the 100 Day Art Challenge. Don’t really like the way I’ve done the eyes, but it’s been a long day and I’m ready to go eat dinner.

    Wish I knew how to change the title of this thread. If one of the Administrators can do that, please remove the “Days 3, 4, & 5” from the main title.

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to edit the title of my feed and keep the continuity of the feed? I shouldn’t have called this the Days 3, 4, & 5 because the feed has days that follow. I’ve tried to edit this myself but can’t seem to do it.

    Thanks,
    Beth

    Days 1 and 2 of 100 Day Art ChallengeSince I entered Days 1 and 2 in the wrong place, I’m going to put it in my feed here.
