 IF YOU ARE NOT INTO ART AND DO NOT HAVE THE MATERIALS PLEASE PASS THE BID THANK YOU!


Using your 9x12" sketchbook, create ten complete sketches in charcoal.  Watch the video demonstrations, and create subtractive sketches using your vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, and charcoal pencils.  Focus your sketches on rendering fabric, and metallic surfaces.  Create complete compositions that utilize the entire page, occupying all four sides of your paper.  Create depth through overlapping objects, and clearly establish foreground, mid-ground and background relationships.  On average (depending on how fast you are), you should spend between 15-30 minutes per sketch.  Don't get bogged down in detail until you've blocked in the light and shadow.  Refine the entire page in stages instead of focusing on refining one area.  I recommend putting a fixative on your sketches so they do not get destroyed.  Charcoal is such a soft media that unfixed drawings in a sketchbook will not last long.  If you do not have fixative, photograph each sketch as you finish it so you have an accurate record of your work before damage occurs.
