graphite on paper.
i'm beginning a new "prophecy" series...it's of things i'm afraid of coming to pass and things that i want to come to fruition.
Used the world over in pencils, graphite is a mineral of pure carbon. The United States Geological Survey estimates over a million tons of graphite are currently mined every year around the world.

Because what good is having a weird looking plant if I don't draw it? I'm hoping to do a value study of it (using crosshatching and whatnot) on Wednesday.
Charcoal & graphite in sketchbook
My goal is to strengthen my drawing skills by sketching everyday in my brand new sketchbook. This is the first entry.
The skull was sketched from my Anatomy For Artists book and I also studied two figures from masters paintings.
Quote: "Drawing the figure is a thinking man's game. Our perceptions can sometimes be mistaken when we are looking at the model...we have to learn to ignore distractions & begin with what we know must be true." ~Frank Porcy
