I was drawn more to the coral and the rocks than the dead bodies of animals and insects which sort of freaked me out. I did like the idea of the bird's nests but I figured that the rock and corals had more source to draw from.
Before going to the Hunterian Museum I went into Paperchase on Buchanan Street. I would live in places like that if I could. I love looking at all the sketchbooks and papers and paints. Remnant Kings is another place where I could live.
I met a classmate while on my way to the Museum and we arrived but we figured since it wasn't opening time yet we would wait outside the doors. I started drawing the banister as we waited then some of our class came up the stairs and asked us why we were waiting when they were all inside.
I started by immediately drawing in the first hall we came to. I was kicking myself for it later. Most of my classmates had taken up residence in front of the big glass cases full of rocks and coral in the other hall. Those displays had alot more variety but after the first five to ten minutes they were impossible to see. Also these were the same people who had taken all the seats so I ended up sitting on the floor.
I didn't realise until about an hour in that the lecturers were in that other hall.
We were given the task of drawing. Two fineliner drawings, two continuous lines, a non dominant drawing and journal work.
We were told to use fineliner pens but I did sketch the outlines for some of the coral to avoid getting lost. I started drawing coral before moving to drawing some Minerals. One of my lecturers came over and suggested I use pencil so I used pencil for a while but then our other lecturer came over and said I should only be using pen. So I do have one pencil drawing from today.
The coral drawings were good although some of them I lost where I was drawing some of the time and some of the coral was really hard to draw. I did try to stick to the easier ones.
We go back to the Hunterian next week and I think we're using watercolours and ink and such which is really what I enjoy doing most drawing-wise. I love using watercolours. It's one of my favourite medias to work with.
