This photo i got from the photo-blog Time Nexus – a blog with tons and tons of great pictures. I wanted to do something with leaves, but the one i chose, turned out to be much more precise than what i wanted to test. But it doesn’t matter.
As usual, I’m in a hurry, and need to catch a train, so i can’t finish it right now. And i’m going for my night-shift tonight, so you might not see anything else from me until tomorrow. But stay tuned!
Thanks to the Time Nexus blog for letting me use their photo!
Reblogged this on Time Nexus and commented:
Had a nice surprise this morning – always interesting to see how a beginner interprets a photo. I like the impact of the half – finished tone; some raw talent over at ‘One Drawing Daily’.
PS – Am I OK to blog a nice edit of the finished pic at some point?
Sure no problem. I might put up a better scan tomorrow so you have a better source for editing. Thanks for your comment! And for reblogging!
Cheers – I find digital macro quick for jobs like that. Also, got drawing again thanks to your posts! Will post the edits on Clear Light of Day – no need to rescan.
Awsome! I hope you’ll be posting your drawings then!
Yes thanks, hope to combine with other stuff plus tips. All the best with your drawings.
Thanks!
I like your concept of one drawing daily, and your drawing style. You will hone your skills but be careful, sometimes that skill level, that honing will deaden a piece. Your drawings are alive and about exploration. Don’t lose all of that to skill. Just be who you are. Draw from who you are.
Thanks for the advice. The day i’ll stop experimenting will probably be the day i’ll stop drawing aswell. One thing i really love about drawing is that it doesnt deal with absolutes. It’s never 100% correct, perfect, precise or whatever – that’s actually the quality in drawing as opposed to photography – or looking at the actual object. A drawing also does the job of adding something that might not be present in the real thing – a feeling or a way of seeing. A perfectly photorealistic drawing would only be true to reality – not to other subjective things. I’ll be careful to hone the skill in the right way. Thanks again!
You are spot-on with all of those ideas.
Oh, forgot to say. I like the way you recognize the photographer who’s work has inspired you to make the drawing. Very important.
