Drawing - big challenge with zero technique.
Lately I was going true some job offers for junior web designers and found out that some of the companies require some sort of art work except the technical knowledge like XHTML, CSS, scripting etc.
I started to thing what would I do. I have not done any art work up till now . I decided to draw something.
Impossible ?
One might say with zero experiences and no technique it is not really possible. That sounds to me as a quite a big challenge what I always like so I said to myself - why don’t you draw self-portrait. And that was it. Done. I made my mind.
Preparation
I bought sketch block, couple of pencils and rubber. I had no idea what will I need so I have chosen what I thought will be useful.
Start
I went home, opened my laptop and chose photograph from my album. I took 2b pencil I started to draw, eyes first then nose, lips and hair at the end. I have tried to do the shading with my finger. It was really funny and I enjoyed it a lot. It took me 8 hours to finish it.
The result is far far from perfect but I think it is not that bad for the first try.
Improvement on the way
I bought some books about drawing so I am going to improve my techniques. I am looking forward to it. Because of the fact that I am trying to prepare for My CIW web designer test it will take some time but I will get there.
There is a new section on my new blog called art work where I will display results of my hard work :o)
Any suggestions?
