These are a few drawings I did for a drawing workshop class I'm taking. Both of them are done with graphite pencil as well as charcoal. The two assignments were finding the significance in the mundane, (pine cone) and emphasizing space (the monkey). The pine cone was about two inches big and the requirement was a drawing no less than 3' X 3'. I've never really worked that large so it was a little difficult..not to mention tedious. The monkey is about 3' X 4', there was no size requirement, however when conveying space it's better to have it larger.
