Welcome to Star Sketchers, Manny!! You're off to an excellent start in drawing accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes)! Great job of overlapping the frog's front legs and the tires of the truck over the engine. This creates depth in your drawing. I know it's a challenge to sketch with your pencil on its side and moving your arm while drawing. But keep practicing, it gets easier; and it will help you draw long, smooth lines when drawing at a large scale. View the reference picture of the monster truck. Are the proportions of the tires compared to the truck body accurate? Cool flames on the truck! :-)



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
