Fault Line

Drawing of rocks with broken rock center

I’ve almost finished this drawing of rocks which I have entitled “Fault Line”.  As is usually the case with my posts, there are areas that aren’t complete and need more development and tweaking – the two red rocks, the white rock and the broken granite rock.

I’ve already developed my next idea for this rock series and am eager to move along, so I hope to finish this drawing tomorrow.

  1. Am liking the red and blue tones in this one Debbi, and my goodness………you have such a delicate hand! I’m really noticing it in the shadows in this piece. And I’m with you: I am so eager to move along also, and will be putting my next still life together tomorrow………..I know what I want; its just a matter of tweaking the composition.

  2. :) Thanks Lynda. I’m going to try toning down the brighter red rock a little. This photograph, however, makes it look redder than it is.
    I’m excited to see your new still-life and what it will be!

  4. I’m glad to hear you like the red rock. I was thinking it stuck out a little bit too much? But I’ve balanced it all now, and it’s pretty much done. The drawing is a. 9 x 12 inches.

  5. You may have a delicate touch with the pencils, but your rocks hold plenty of weight and volume! Beautiful rendering.
