MORE BLACK AND WHITE

I have lost the photo I took as a reference photo, probably in a hurried effort to give myself more space, so alas, you cannot see what I was looking at. I call it Breakfast Tray With Meds, but I may change it just to Breakfast Tray because it seems everyone now takes some medication with their morning meal, yeah, even young people! Anyhow, as you can see, I’m rather enjoying drawing from this overhead perspective. And black and white is a challenge. Since all who know me know I love a challenge, expect to see more of these! (Maybe)

FIRST NOVEMBER ART

With this still life drawing, similar to the one that I ended my Inktober drawings with, i used the same view point but instead of cross hatching I used grayscale pens to achieve deeper contrasts and bolder shadows. I also lit the still life better, with only one source of light not multiple sources. I took the reference photo below, but made some changes to the drawing itself.
