todd8137 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Hi all after a couple chats with a great artists/teacher mr ken jones a local guy and great advice on sketching I decided to get the sun rise over the Vallis Alps,I used the charcoals and conte pencils as I waited a few hours for the shadows to take the shape they did I was amazed by it yet again the valley being 110km long and around 10km wide I took a few,snaps,to get diferent contrast my chats payed i did not get to finish it as the temperature dropped and the cold got the better of me keep looking up pat Edited March 27, 2016 by todd8137 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owmuchonomy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Super rendition capturing the jagged peaks perfectly. I took my own images recently of a very similar view but the sketches are truly spectacular and very representative. Enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bish Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Superb. I have a love/hate relationship with drawing. I'm always sketching stuff but can never capture what I see in the eyepiece -. Whereas you clearly can. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Hi and thanks ,to start with drawings there's never a bad drawing some one could draw a stick man,and another could draw a realistic looking man which is best ? Both are best in my eyes and draw for your self and what you see,the biggest mistake is thinking it does not look like that through the ep ,mine don't if that's the case I always think mine look flat have have no depth ,what ise in the ep looks 3D but I only see flatness ,but what I do see is shadows and try to let them make my sketches get that across. Try to catch that if you can and your already half way there later I will show you a few tricks that may help with a few sketching tips pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
