Silhouettes Reflection

This was a fun assignment. It let me have fun drawing freehand with my new Tablet. I also drew with the mouse while waiting for the Tablet to arrive. Drawing with a mouse is not something I would recommend. Use a Tablet as it is ultimately easier.
Prior to this assignment I had not really thought much about silhouettes or what they were. Now I can draw them, but I feel I need to do more and possibly do them faster.
I started out with no plan, but by Wed I had a plan. Wed I started drawing lots of different mushrooms in several forms. A few times I deviated and drew something else, an eye or snake, instead. I also drew five in a sort of scene.
My favorite image is one of the larger mushrooms; however that changes each time I look at them. I started out with a line drawing done in Photoshop. I then filled in the drawing until it was all black. I found this to be a very effective method for me to use.

assignment silhouettes

These are the last of the assignment. Hope everyone enjoys them.

more sils

I know, this one appears to be a picture, but each item is a silhouette.

Today's work

This is todays work. It was completed with eyes that were causing everything to either blur or double on me.

continuing work

more of my silhouettes

Finished Known Silhouettes

the finished page of known character silhouettes.  forgot to ask, but do I need to identify them at some point?

slow fast work

WelI I am  slowly getting this fast work done.  This is in part because I am waiting for my new tablet to arrive.  It will be here on friday sometime. 

So here are five of my own silhouettes drawn in Photoshop with a mouse...not my prefered way of doing things.

More will be forthcoming along with the known character silhouettes.
