  scribble line drawing - Nosferatu  blue ballpoint pen on 18 x 24 in paper For my scribble line drawing assignment, I was inspired to do something sorta creepy / horror-esque. I thought, who else could I do other than the Nosferatu himself? I also wanted to do a portrait because that is something I do not do too often. I found the scribbling technique to be difficult to master; it is hard to generate something 'random' that is not controlled. I am honestly not the happiest with how this came out, but that's alright, ya live and ya learn. 

 2 drawings - observational and accidental  observational I decided to sketch a candleholder on my kitchen table using a 6B pencil. I decided to colour it with watercolour to try and show the interesting ways the light hits it and affects the colour. Looking back on it now, I should've had more greens and browns, and fewer yellows.  accidental I was honestly a little stumped on this prompt, I had a couple ideas going through my head on what you could interpret 'accidental' as. I decided to use coffee and a cup to create a bunch of rings and splotches on my page as organically as humanly possible. Then, using a paintbrush, I followed some of the lines to carve out shapes. To me, they look like fish but it's open for interpretation. I generally do not do abstract art so this was a challenge for me.
