charcoal

Friday morning in class we spent a half hour outside doing charcoal sketch exercises. Some were 30 seconds, 1 minute and 5 minutes. It was really nice and relaxing to do. Later on in the day we all got to share and it was cool to see everyone else's work and style and the interpretations when more than one person would sketch the same thing. Everyone has their own style and I liked everyone's. Here's a few that I did the first is a seven minute sketch and the second is a five minute one. Kind of reminds me of the work I did in middle school. Here's proof that I didn't fully inherit my mom's drawing talent hahaha but some if it is there peeking out...I think. We're supposed to do some more this weekend and so maybe with practice they'll improve. But I don't really care, I like doing this mainly for how relaxing it is and how it makes me stop and take the time to be more aware of the surroundings that I would normally overlook.
