In Lothar's first session, we went to the Castle Museum to study the clothes there, specifically the form of them, the folds of the fabric, and their texture.
The first piece was particularly difficult because of the lightness and transparency of the fabric, however with the second, the fabric appeared similar to suede, and so I decided to try a different shading style, using more blocks of shading to capture the texture of the fabric. I like how it turned out, however the harshness of the darkest parts somewhat drowns out the mid tones, and so more conservative use of darker shades would have been useful.
For the second session, we returned to the Castle Museum, this time focusing on drawing larger scenes, capturing the architecture of the keep. Here, I tried a slightly different version of the shading that I used for my second piece from the previous session, whilst making the midtones of the scene more prominent.
