Clock Drawing, 4.9.15
Here’s a drawing of a clock that I started on the 8th & finished last night. My grandmother gave me this clock when I moved into my apartment as sort of a housewarming gift. Just in case you noticed – the numbers are purposely off center (ie, 12 is not right at the top & 6 is not right at the bottom). For some reason the numbers are really like that on the clock, so that’s how I drew it.
I’m a little disappointed with this. There are parts that I like, but I think I’ve done better life drawings. For some reason I really struggled with the shading. There’s a black ring around the clock between the clock face & the outer wood casing that was really hard for me – and just getting the wood itself to look right was hard.
Oh well! There’s always tomorrow – or today, rather, since I haven’t done my drawing for today yet.

I like it. I was just thinking of going back to pencil for a while.

Thanks – yeah, it’s a little strange to do a detailed pencil drawing after not doing it for even a little while. Different from pen or paint, anyway.

I like the roman characters on the clock. It looks like a real clock.

Thank you! Lettering is usually difficult for me, so I’m pleased with how I did on the roman numerals.

Anything with circles. ovals, dimension is really hard, but you did a wonderful job! The numbers and shadow cast by the big hand….looks great!
