Since I'm taking a 'Draw Anything!' approach to - well - drawing
in general and the workshop in particular, I thought I'd base today's
workshop on drawing restaurant and kitchen equipment.
Having been a restaurateur for over twenty years
- it seemed the obvious thing to do...
I also incorporated examples of 1950s neon signage as part of
the exercise, adding your own name in place of the existing name
- ie 'Ray's Tavern' would become 'Fred's Tavern' allows
you to personalise the sign.
I hadn't assigned any homework last week, but Les
surprised us all by bringing in his completed radio
drawing, adding greater contrast and detail.
While Fred, having owned a pub himself ably tackled the signage,
Les and Tony took on the still life I assembled and produced
a complete composition, incorporating line and tone.
Hmmm, I brought in colouring pencils, but considering the still life
was stainless steel, black plastic, chrome and glass - probably needn't
have bothered. Although Fred certainly made good use of them!
Since everybody was progressing nicely I felt somewhat
redundant so thought I'd better join in and get drawing myself.
Once more - no time for drawing heroes or villains!
Next week - join us for...
