First Week of Drawing

So this is an assignment we did in my drawing class a while back. First we put down a thin layer of black oil paint on a sheet of plexiglass, covered the plexiglass with a sheet of stonehenge, drew a blind contour of wilted sunflowers on the back of the stonehenge, and then the image transfers to the front of the page.
We were trying to get interesting line variations out of it. It was entertaining, but not my favorite thing to do.

The transfered drawing.
These next ones are just a few that I liked. We had to do this for 3 to 4 hrs as homework, so these are the best of the bunch, in my opinion. The last two have ghost images on them from pressing the paper back down after already using the paint on the glass to transfer an image. There's some nice detail that went through on the last one, especially.
and that's all I've photographed since the beginning of the term. haha. :)
