Raquel



Right on, Raquel! Your drawings show steady improvement in line control and accuracy of proportions! Your observational drawing skills just keep on improving. I can see smoother curved lines emerging from your practice of holding the pencil on its side and moving your whole arm when you draw. I really like how you drew big and kept accurate overall proportions of the frog and monster truck. Keep comparing what you're drawing to reference pictures you're looking at. View the reference picture of the truck. Are the proportions of the tires and truck body accurate? The gray tones that show the values of colors on the frog are a nice touch!

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
