This was the first of two photos I took for the third assignment for a continuing education course I took at Emily Carr University of Art & Design - "Fictions in Documentary Photography" as taught by professor and Vancouver photographer Stephen Waddll.
The assignment asked students to shoot a portrait, and for my portrait I submitted this photo of my friend Shannon Cawley which I consider to be more of a stolen snapshot.
Ultimately, I did not submit this particular photograph, and instead I submitted this photograph.
CEDR 160 - Day 1: Exercise 2: wooden head (Photo 1)

This drawing was done in class as part of the Drawing 160: Drawing Fundamentals I continuing education course I took at Emily Carr University of Art & Design under instructor Dan Starling.
The drawing here was part of a series of exercises in looking and seeing. It was done very quickly and ideally, I could have spent the entire day working on this as opposed to the 45 minutes we were given to work on it.
At first we were to look at the object, and use charcol to create shapes and textures of what we saw. Then, we erased parts of the image to work away what we had drawn to help us understand how light affected the object and how to bring dimensionality to the object. Finally, we worked with conte to help bring in new lines and textures to build up the drawing as a whole.
Again, the idea with these sketches was to look, draw, look, draw, look, draw >>> all the while never forgetting the importance of looking and seeing and understanding what was being drawn and concentrating your efforts on looking at what you were seeing. It was also a chance to play with materials and see what you could do with them.
