This is the finished work. I used Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black pencils for the shading. The garlic cloves are out of place somewhat relative to the reference photo used in class.

This in-progess work is from a class project, using graphite, from DrawAwesome.

This walnut was sketched with 2B, 4B and 6B Derwent pencils.
A Sketch of Fruit…
Using Derwent pencils, which surprisingly seem “better” — darker — than Staedtler, which I’ve been using until now.

Quick willow charcoal sketch done today after work.
Karen Margulis Patreon Follow-Along: Shiny Vase
Karen Margulis offered her Patreon members a demo of how to paint shiny objects. Using her reference photo — but modifying it for my own purposes — I did this study on Colourfix Original (Soft Umber color), and used both hard and soft pastels.
Shiny Vase in Pastel Pencil & Charcoal
Today for her Patreon members, Karen Margulis had a photo demo of painting a shiny vase in soft pastels. I used the reference photo provided, but decided to draw the vase in charcoal first, and later filled in the shapes with the colors I saw using pastel pencils. This was done on plain ol’ drawing paper.
A Pair of Apples
This was done on 6×8 white Pastelmat, sketched first using an H pencil. I did not do an underpainting.
