Drawing Arnold Ziffel

This morning I went to an art class this morning at DKW Gallery to learn how to use Art Pastels to draw a pig.  This was our inspiration.

We thankfully had stencil to trace for the main shape.  Then we starting laying down a base.

 

Pig1wm

 

We kept adding more layers for shadows and outlines.

 

Pig2wm

 

Next step was using our fingers to blend.

 

Pig3wm

 

Then we came back in with more shading on our pig and then chose the color for our background (I chose a grey/green blend).

 

Pig5wm

 

And the final step was coming in with a black Pastel Pencil to add details.

 

Pig5wm

 

He doesn't quite look like the pig in the picture ... but for my first try, I was thrilled that I could actually tell he is a pig.

It was fun to visit the gallery & take an art class again.
