Week #9 - My Experiments with drawing

Introduction:
This week I tried to do a little experiment. Experiment on what typing of art interests me best. Is it painting, coloring or sketching? Though the result of experiment was inconclusive, it was a funny experiment.

Procedure:
Following steps where involved in the experiment.
Step 1: After a rigorous research, I choose a picture which I wanted to draw. It was a painting of buttercups (They are just beautiful). 
Step 2: Make 3 partitions of your drawing sheet using a pencil (free hand partition is also fine)
Step 3: Partition 1: Paint the your buttercup
Step 4: Partition 2: Color your buttercup using color pencils
Step 5: Partition 3:  Try to shade your buttercup (I say try because it was hard).
Step 6: TADAA!! Your picture is ready for blogging.

Observation:
After carefully exploring 3 different techniques of drawing on a single picture. Here is a set of observations I made.

Acrylic colors
Pros: Best for getting textures. I totally love them.
Cons: If you are a little impatient like I am, then you need to think twice before using water colors. You will need to wait for the painting to dry while using multiple colors to prevent it from mixing.

Color Pencils
Pros: Does everything what a acrylic colors can do and you don't have to wait for the pictures to dry as well. Easy to correct when there are errors.
Cons: It just doesn't give you a realistic feel in the picture (at-least I don't know how to do that).

Pencil Sketching (It's my first love (First art form I ever learnt))
Pros: Good for drawing scenery and landscapes. Gives you a variety of shading option and is very easy too. It is economic and best.You just need one good pencil. That's it. 
Cons: You feel you are in the world of black and white cinemas. 

Result:
It is difficult to choose one style which suits me. I like them all. I love color pencils when I want to draw something fictitious (like Olaf and Elsa). I love pencil sketching to draw landscapes and portraits. I love painting to draw everything else. I love drawing!
