Vanitas

I drew this picture while studying Vanitas. I wanted to stay simple and only use two objects to see if I could portray a real Vanitas style. Creating the smoke was difficult to do considering what I had envisioned for it.

Wine Glass and Drapes

This is a drape study that I did when I was first learning how to draw drapes. It was difficult getting the folds to look real but I am proud of the final piece. I chose a wine glass for the object because I also wanted to try drawing glass.
