As I have recently found out, every Thursday lunchtime there is a drawing club (organized by Mr Harper) taking place in the art room. I've always been very passionate about art and drawing in particular, so obviously I couldn't miss it and as a result me and a couple of other girls went to this club. When we came to the art room, we learned that there is going to be a person who would act as a model and sit in front of everyone pretending to read a book and we would have to draw her (or him) with charcoal. This was the part I wasn't exactly happy about since I remember not being very good at drawing with this particular material. However, surprisingly, it turned out to be better than I expected.
I actually ended up drawing a cement bust of a man that we found in the art room and not Polina Orlova (who was the model). Overall, I was quiet happy with the outcome of my work, however, the only problem I was faced with was the time limit. I didn't manage to finish my drawing during lunchtime and therefore decided to take the drawing and the charcoal home and finish it in my spare time. As a result, inspired by the whole drawing with charcoal theme, I have produced two more black and white charcoal drawing, thus improving my drawing techniques.
