Description 9 x 12" Graphite
Watercolor Paper (don't ask)

So I don't hate it.
That has to count for something.
I thought this would be quicker and easier than it was, but it wasn't deadly. It got a bit boring in certain parts, but overall I think I'd like to draw glass again... I'm annoyed that the white didn't come out white with the scan, but what can I do.
And man, graphite pencils are demon spawn sometimes, but had to use them here. I don't know if I could have done this in conte unless I would have gone way bigger in size.
Oh, and the reference picture was found on Stock.Xchng [link]
And I don't know if this category is right either.
Hope you like it.

Omg, how did you have the patience for this? Glass frustrates the heck out of me. Beautiful job!! How long did it take?

EuroFoxx In reply to elizile [2008-03-07 20:51:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it was definitely frustrating at points, and I had to grit my teeth and just git 'er done. And I'm not really sure since I never keep track, but probably around 10 hours or so

That is amazing. Capturing the light and dark in a glass like that has always been beyond me.

This is fantastic!

Thank you very much! Yeah, so I pretty much wanted to slit my wrists with the paper in some of the sections, but I'm glad I finished this bad boy. I might try another glass piece if I ever sink into the depths of insanity again, it was an interesting experience to say the least.
Thanks for the fab comment

Good on you though, it must have been worth it. How long did it take?

EuroFoxx In reply to keiross [2008-03-07 01:15:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm just guestimating here, but probably around 10 hours?
I never keep track because I usually work in such disjointed spurts that I'd be spending more time watching the clock then actually drawing.

Yeah I know, it's bad. I started with the best of intentions on the drawing I'm working on now, but alas, I've already lost track
It's sad, really.

It was a struggle at points since it got pretty repetitive, but worth it in the end, I think.

I should never have doubted you. My sincerest apologies.
When I saw this as a thumbnail in your gallery I thought "Oh well, nice photograph, but whatev'?"

Now I see it's a drawing. Of COURSE it's a drawing.

Geez.
You're good.

Well doll I love it!!! Gotta admit it... but since u encourage advance critique...
I have a commentary...
On the left-hand side looking at it up-front the angle of the glass is a bit more pronounced than that of the other side making it look weird...
Other than that I LOVE IT...the contrast is perfect and the light and shadow are well placed. Glass and water can be tricky...

That was something I definitely didn't expect... I had this stupid prejudice that you were studying something art related... Funny... English and psychology... mmmh...

Yeah it would be great to be doing something art related... heck, even an art class would be nice. But alas no
*sigh* I wish I could skip ahead to just being done all school. What type of law does your brother practice?

At the moment he works for the government's forensic department...
I don't really understand much of it but his job entails keeping everythingt that goes on legal and nice and uptight.
He's the nexus... complicated legal stuff...

Well he has some ability to make things hard look easy... He was never tremendously busy nor stressed and managed to get his title... I certainly wish I could do that but it seems that my system works based on over work and extreme obsession... such is life in the tropics...

OMG! you're amazing! I thought this was a PHOTO! in fact, I was gonna tell you that this "photo" is celestial beverage to pencil artists to use it as a reference, but it's actually drawn already! lol And I don't know why but I love the effect that you get from pencil in a canvas, cause it looks rough, not as neat and real it would from a special smooth paper, but still, it looks challenging, beautiful. This pieces are more likely to be observed from afar
