Skull with Candles

"Skull with Candles"

I really like the use of candles in my still lives because I can get sweet shadows/lighting from them. When I finished the sketching for this and was picking my medium I was going to do this in calk and I still can't find those calks so I went for the next best thing, my charcoals.

Sketch Book Dump!

I think my title pretty much say's it all. Most of these are nature based that I drew from life but a few others are just for fun.

"Pumpkin Leaves"

"Sage Flowers"

"Tree no 3"

"Tree no 2"

"Tree no 1"

"The Spooky Clock"

"Cupcakes with Personality"

"The Gargoyle"

And I'm closing this with: I love small sketch books, they are so easy to lug around.

Still Life No. 8

"Still Life No. 8"

Two hours, graphite, a candle, dried rose, and a book covered by fabric. Light source is the candle.

I'm trying to get back to a good spot with shading so this month will be some still life.
