Day Two: Lines and Shapes

I tried using the four different grips again today. I do see how more of my shoulder and elbow are used. According to the book I should be able to create flow and movement by using the different grips. I did get the sketch of the vase to look solid, while the plant sketch does look more airy...


I am proud of my sketches of the elephants that are based on shapes instead of specific details, but that darn owl really frustrated me!
Hatching needs more practice, that's for sure.

Today's session did keep my mind off my pain for well over two hours. My pain levels have been abnormally high for the last six days. I didn't sleep well at all last night... So I am impressed by how long I could concentrate on my sketches today. :)
