Today, on the spur of the moment, I was curious to see what I could produce drawing pencil sketches from photos. My interpretation took maybe 15 minutes max and I'm fairly happy with it.
I used a kneaded eraser to help me achieve the effect with the sunlight and rays.
All shading was done the same as before, with the side of the lead. My aim was to try and finish the piece in the shortest timeframe possible and to manage a good similarity.
I used a 2B wood pencil which made the job of placing fine railings on the jetty almost impossible. To fix that, I made the jetty bigger because I didn't want to stop the momentum to swap or sharpen my pencil.
I also pay attention to how I place my strokes, I want to get into the habit of them going in the one direction only, so I'm not dragging the graphite backwards and forwards. I think that action ruins a sketch yet my tendency to hurry seems to encourage it.
As I continue to look at this sketch, I think it looks more like a drawing. Learning to sketch is a process and I know what I visualize and what appears on my paper are generally 2 different things. I'm not worried, I know that if I keep practicing, I am going to achieve that sketchy look eventually.
