I did a pencil sketch of a tree growing through a piano. Landscapes and nature are new to me, so is drawing from real life, so any advice helps.

I've been trying to understand and implement the ideas with mapping out figures from Bridgeman's book. Most of the people around me were sitting, so I decided to concentrate on mapping out faces with concepts from Bridgeman. That and trying to draw solid lines instead of my usual frantic "petting" line style (crutch).  Then I wanted to do a fun quick doodle with the same idea:  It's rough, but I'm trying.

I did 2-minute gesture drawings last night after watching the Proko videos posted in the Self-Taught thread. I used charcoal instead of my usual pen or pencil. I was practicing exaggeration, intentional lines (instead of my usual "hairy" lines from "petting"), and drawing from the shoulder.     I managed to do 24 different poses before taking a break. It's weird going back and building fundamentals, but it felt good.

More drawing exercises, this time done out and about. I did warm up blind contour drawings and then gesture drawings, then decided to try my hand at a new challenge. The figure on the right started as a gesture drawing from a person at the bar I was at. I plotted out the face and then drew in the details with pen, trying to do solid lines instead of petting. The person left before I could get the details of the face, and it's the worst part of the drawing. The figure on the left was conceptual, using a made-up gesture and I plotted exaggerated features. I'm not happy with the ear placement or the lower half of the body.  The bar I go to has a shark head on the wall, and I thought that would be fun to try and draw. Sharks are scary. Also gesture drawings. Still practicing the actual planning of a drawing and drawing from the shoulder.

Started with a sketch of a person that I saw, inked in the lines, colored with watercolors, went back and added more variety to the lines with a micron pen.
