Haley

Your focused effort in observational drawing is showing great results, Haley!! You're gaining more control in your line work as you practice holding your pencil on its side. This is giving you long, smooth curved lines. Great job of overlapping the legs of the frog and the truck tires over the engine. This gives depth to your drawing. The proportions of the frog are well drawn. View the reference picture for the monster truck. Are the proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) of the truck body and tires accurate?



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 some info about outlines from a book I wrote: Click here
