A short update on my progress with drawing. I’ve made a drawing of a part of my flat.

Perspective drawing of some doors in my flat

That’s my first “big” picture drawn by sight (and not from a reproduction). I have messed up some proportions so I had to change the chair and cupboard slightly and the plant greatly to make the picture come together. I’ve also got quite upset and have not finished it. Now I think it’s not that bad – the central part looks pretty good and even the improvised parts are not that bad. I also think it would be dishonest not to show you some of my failures.

I’ve scanned some drawings that I’ve managed to do so far. There are two “benchmark” drawings that I’ve made a little more then a month ago that document my drawing abilities at the begining of my learning process. Please don’t laugh to much. Then there are three drawings I’ve made more recently. The drawings can be viewed at “drawings” page also accessible from the links at the top of the page. All drawings have been made in pencil and scanned – no further retouch besides tweaking the scanner parameters, so I’m sorry about the poor quality, especially of the benchmark pictures.

I would like to express my gratitude towards everyone who has visited this blog so far. Frankly I was expecting that I will be posting into a void for a few months before the blog catches on. I have been surprised and honored to see so many FGD regulars commenting on my first articles. Thank you, you are keeping me very motivated.
