Sketch Style.

This week we have a still life to draw. I hate still lifes. For some reason I can never get it to look right. The shapes are usually okay, but I never get the shadows and highlights to look right. I think that since i have it in my mind that  I will not like it I don't really try my hardest. Cause once I mess up the first time  I don't really go back and try to fix it. So instead of trying to make the still life to look really realistic I think that I am going to try a different style, possibly a sketch style?! I haven't decided. I just know that still lifes are not my strong suit. So instead of attacking it in a defeated manner I think  I will just look at it a different way.


an example of the style I may try.....

    I don't think that you're giving yourself enough credit, you definitely can do still lifes! I don't think you should give up so easily, but I do like the sort of sketchy style.

    I agree with Bre. You can do still lifes very well. And it's always a challenge to try a different style that you're unfamiliar with, or not used to. It shows you're not afraid of a challenge Jill. Which is just awesome!!

    I saw what you were doing for your still life and i really think that you have a good thing going for you. I say broaden your horizons with this technique and i think it will become a new strength for you

    Well Jill I hate still-lifes too! What I find hard is have to create the image to look exactly what it looks like. Having a photogenic memory would help in this situation.
