"Garlic" Pen and Ink

5"by 7" 100lb paper

My pen and Ink study or a garlic bulb. the papery skin of a garlic bulb was hard to represent with pen and ink. I think I did a better job of it with the other media I used. I do like how the pen and ink forces you to depict things with a line.

This is my pencil study of garlic. I worked on a much smaller scale with this study. I was able to finish the study much quicker because of the size. I was able to complete the 4 different media studies very close to each other because of it. There is nothing like the smell of cooking garlic to get me hungry.

My pen and ink study of wine bottle , wine glass and wine opener. Went with more of a line effect on this study and now I am wondering if it would have been better with a pointillism effect. I may do a second study on this and then compare the two drawings.

My pencil study of a wine bottle and glass of wine. This study presented me with the task of representing glass with liquid inside and the shinny metal cork screw. It was very challenging but fun., and the fact I had to drink the still life later made it more so.
