I am currently working on a series of basic tea cup drawings using chalk pastels. I'm playing around with different papers, shading and lighting elements. Eventually, I will be incorporating different designs and imagery into the background. For now, I'm just getting a good handle (pun intended) on the cups themselves.
Tea at Twilight
Midnight Tea
After spending some time in the "Think Tank" (AKA my hot pink closet), I decided to pull out elements from the tea cups and incorporate them into the background. Here is what I came up with:
Tiki Tea
Lom Bok
I'm really liking the development, Margs. The cups are now feeling more authentic and less square-ish in nature than the first version you posted. This is a good thing and it's intended to be a compliment. One of the hardest things to overcome in drawing [and painting] is the feeling of stiffness and you're fastly getting over that.
Midnight Tea nails it, I think. I like the positioning of the cup on the substrate and the feeling of floating is more Zen in nature. Still - you know - I'm anxious to see them develop. I will exercise patience. I promise.
