46/100 - 15.01.2010
Charcoal and chalk on tinted paper.
Boring fact: First thing I've drawn on my new easle. I noticed that a lot of my drawings seem elongated, and I guess it was due to drawing on a level surface, which caused some weird perspective issues (I think I was adjusting for the top of the page being smaller visually) With an easle the paper can be angled so that it is completely facing the eye.

5/100 - 05.12.2009
So, to mix things up a little, and since I had some time, I tried using charcoal today. Charcoal is something I've always wanted to try but always found it very difficult to use. I think it turned out alright, the glass looks ok but as usual the proportions and layout was difficult. Another difficulty I found is how easily smudged the charcoal is, it's tricky trying to draw without resting your hand on the parts you've already put down - maybe I'm supposed to start at the left side and work over to the right? Hmm. It would be interesting to go back to some of these reference photos at the end of the 100 drawings and draw some again, to compare things.
This took around an hour (estimated) to complete, charcoal and putty eraser on cartridge paper. Photograph (mine) used as a source.
