Day Five!

17) Plant



This is a neat old plant I found with new leaves just getting started - basic shadows, it's more or less a modified countour. I think it's some kind of onion or garlic or chive plant, though I'm not sure.

18) SilverPlateAndDrapes



This was awesome to draw. Almost lost it too, it was starting to become way too symmetrical, until I added those handles and invented some drapes and that background behind the plate to give it some depth, visual interest, and more interesting visual tonal variation.

19) SkullHatching



Exercie in pure hatcing here, using something a bit more interesting than eggs or boxes. Pretty easy actually, if you want to do it yourself:

1) Get a skull
2) Draw the outline of it
3) Put in the lights and darks

The hardest part, really, is getting a human skull, but come to think of it, there's tons of those just walking around every day.

20) Tin



Cookie tin! Not really an old one, just one I had around to keep receipts in. Figured it'd make an interesting model, and I'm going to do this again, spending more time capturing the texture of tartan. Was actually easier than I was expecting, though you'll see by my note there that creating the basic shading first, before placing the texture, would have been wiser.
