Oh Sheet

Drawing is a relaxing, meditative state for me. I can lose track of time, and get lost in my work. Since spring semester started, I've gotten wrapped-up in drawing every weekend. I'm glad this past week I was assigned to draw cloth; it was both challenging and gratifying. The way I visualize drawings is very spacial and gestural, which in this case proved to be fit for subtractive charcoal. My goal was to be realistic by not creating lines, but instead only shifts in tone. For my current ability, I'm pretty satisfied with the end result.

Mineral Magnification

Mineralia

Lately I've been having too much fun classifying minerals, these being some of my favorites. 

At the local mall the boyfriend and I stumbled upon two guys selling an assortment of these, and we could not stop touching and asking about everything. Scouting these out in the woods would be a fun past time.
Which is your favorite?
