Nick



Welcome to Star Sketchers, Nick!! You're off to a GREAT start! You got right into holding the pencil on its side and moving your whole arm when drawing--a bit of a challenge at first. But you got the hang of it and your curved and angled lines got more and more confident. The proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) became more accurate as you kept sketching. You've got a good eye for looking at things; then drawing them. View the reference picture of the truck. Are the proportions of the tires compared to the truck body accurately drawn?

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
