Single Spoon Sketch- graphite, 6" x 9" sketchbook, ©2012, Nancy Van Blaricom
I sketched this spoon on September 13th, 2012 and although it was ok I thought I should have done some warm-ups first.

So, the next day on the 14th I decided to do some gesture sketches of the spoon.
I think by doing some gesture sketches you really get to know and understand what you are looking at. When you gesture draw / sketch, you capture the character of the shape of the object, the feel of the subject ... my physical response. Also you help develop eye-hand coordination by keeping your eye on the subject.
I should have sketched the single spoon after I did the gesture drawings.

I think your spoon is great! Spoons are not easy ...
ReplyDeleteI like your spoon too. It's a subject one often can draw without tiring, and it's quite hard to find the good angle and position.
ReplyDeleteHave a gooe week-end, Nancy!
