Drawing 2 session 2 - Minerals!

In session 2 we visited the Natural History Museum. Such a great place to have on the doorstep of London. If it weren't for the annoying tourists / school children that kept jostling me while I was drawing, I'd go every day.

Some of my favourite rocks and minerals:

Here we had to choose 5 pieces and draw without looking at what we were drawing.

Then we were allowed to draw 3 of them looking down at our page occasionally. Then we had to focus on 1, but still only had 20 mins to draw it. We had to draw separate drawings considering edges/outlines, tone, texture, colour.

Here are some of my earlier drawings.
