I wanted to do some more cartooning practice and when I stayed on track with the walkthroughs, I did fine. Some sketches I did with no assistance and it really shows. My sketches are pretty scary

I tried out the charcoal. It’s not my favorite.

I tried to use the kneaded eraser on the charcoal and draw. These turned out bad but I think the wonkiness adds some cave-like personality to it.

I finally opened the sharpies and forgot how crisp they begin. I like the thick, chinsel tip. I also did some zentangle.

I tried out the Ebony pencils and don’t see anything special about them. I also thought they were supposed to blend but they didn’t. I tried drawing ice cream but it turned into a microphone.

This is the India ink and I love it. I did some random markings and then painted a human like how I did when I was younger.

I decided to carry on with the ink. After more practice and control I think I’ll be able to use the ink more percisely

Here is a quick little sketch of my sister and her laptop screen

Doodling

First I drew a pan from the top angle for symmetry then I drew the same pan from the side view for an asymmetrical drawing

I decided to go a little off-topic and try to practice more tonal drawing.

Create a landscape with cross contour lines.

Mountain looming over a lake with hills framing it.

Sand dunes in the desert.

• Spontaneously draw an animal from observation

This was a cicada that landed on my window.

A goldfish

• Arrange and draw a still life that represents a Vanitas style

I struggled with this prompt a little with the symbolism and I drew everything to the best of my ability. There is a vase with a wilted rose inside of it next to a skull and behind those two things is a watch glass and candle.

Skull and little butterfly
