Today I concentrated on individual facial features for sketching practice:

More work today on continuous line gestures. Sometimes restricting the sketching process
like this yields some great results!

Today I wanted to do something a little different with my gesture drawings.
Here, I’ve kept my lines as clean and continuous as possible to describe
proportion and expression without getting too preoccupied with unnecessary detail:

I think these are a vast improvement on the sketches from the end of last week.
Today I concentrated on gestural lines to describe posture, and more focused
detail around the head and hands, which were the most interesting areas of each subject:

I’ve done as much as I’d planned to do with the wood burning on this box,
but my intitial plan included some wood carving with a Dremel tool as well.
I’ve since discovered that the top and bottom panels of this box are too
thin to take much carving, so I’ve decided to do a bit on the sides of the
box instead, which measure about 8mm in thickness. I’m now in the process
of coming up with a complimentary design for the sides of the box.
Here’s my progress on the box so far:

For the past little while I’ve been eager to implement one of my designs for
wood burning/ wood carving. I’ve had an unfinished, flat wooden box hanging
around for a long time, and being square, it seemed perfect for the design
I posted on the blog on March 2.
I transfered a pencil copy of the design to the top of the wooden box and then started work on the shaded sections using wood burning. At first I filled in the shapes that had solid colour, and in the process found that the chisel tip I was using with my wood burning tool did a pretty decent job for areas of shading gradation as well.
Here is my work in progress:
