Iron Monkey

Photobucket
This is a sketch form life of a little statue made of metal. I was talking to Robert Lovelett asking him how to get better at drawing. He said practice. Specifically from life an hour a day. This didn't nearly take me an hour but it is a start. While this is that impressive I am pretty happy with the fact I didn't really stylize the shape or make it look like a cartoon I stuck to trying to copy the shape and shading of the actual statue all the way through. Hopefully with time I'll get better at this. Plus even if I don't get really good at drawing still lifes doing these exercises will probably add a lot to the depth and shape and shading of the more cartoony stuff I draw.
