Great job of drawing accurate proportions of the monster truck and frog!! Excellent how you included details from the reference picture you were drawing from. When sketching light guidelines for your shapes, keep practicing using your pencil on its side and moving your arm while drawing. This will help you to draw long, smooth, accurate lines when working larger. Use your normal grip to finish with tighter, darker outlines. View the reference picture of the truck. Are the proportions of the tires compared to the truck body accurate? I really like how you added gray tones to show the different values of color.

Ready for a drawing challenge? If you have time this week: Use lines, shapes, and tones (black and grays) to create an abstract drawing. Abstract means there aren't any people, places, or recognizable objects in your composition... just lines and shapes and tones. Draw big! Use the entire sheet of paper. Have fun using your imagination. Here are examples of abstract artwork for ideas to get you started: Click here

FYI: Here's a some info about outlines from a book I wrote: Click here
