Last week were assigned our first sketchbook task. I have always been somewhat of an artist-y person. Its not that I feel I really have the talent for it, I just always enjoyed doing it and it has always interested me. So my intial thought at the assignment was this could be a fun challenge, and a challenge it was indeed.
I was sitting at work with not much to do, work has been pretty quiet lately, so i decided I could attempt to be some what productive with my time. I got out my target sketch book from which I acquired from the little kid art section. I read the assignment, got situated, and started drawing my boxes.
I started out with a jump drive, I wanted to succeed, so I started with something I felt would be simple enough for me to do that. I spent a lot of time on it and it was a much harder task than I had anticipated. I continued to draw and then found my self erasing more than I was drawing. I finished the jump drive feeling somewhat proud of my outcome.
The jump drive was confidence booster but it only seemed to get worse as I went along, and I continued to loose my patience.
By the end of my drawings I was less than impressed by the final two drawings. I found though through the experience I somewhat enjoyed the challenge, I might make a similar attempt in the near future, hopefully with a more positive outcome.
