New Brief - Nature

Today i started work on the new Brief which is called Nature the basis is to concentrate on natural forms such as flowers , trees to Pebbles.
Today we started with observational drawing with a set that my Tutor set up ,for us using the objects the class and i
Brought in for the week long observational drawing exercise.
To start the session off that day we was given an allotted time of 3 hours to travel anyway that has nature as surroundings and take photo's for our primary research. My plan for the allotted time was to stay local to really get the most value from it, so i took myself to Loch Park and went to scenic route there. On that route there was the fall of the autumn leaves and trees with the summer flowers vibrant in colour but ready for the seasons change which compliments the body of photos i took.
When i returned to class me and the class started our observational drawings , to start the session we choose one part of the set and create just a line drawing with no shading.
The Guidelines for the drawing session were as followed no colour just the use of pencils and graphite pencils and chalk when used on the black paper.
As you can see the first image is the first observational drawing i
Chose to work on the Pineapple and the rose , i liked the different shapes as i thought the line work and shapes would marry well together i used an 3B pencil for the first image.
To add more techniques i decided to draw the same objects this time with a 8B Graphite pencil this time adding shading and cross hatching with rendering to add light and dark nature imagery.
My final image i completed that day was on a different subject this time a white circular patterned ball surrounded by a purple cabbage. For the best possible result i used the white chalk on A4 black paper and began to draw the ball and the cabbage.
