Demetri

Demetri!! Friday was a breakthrough day for you, man! You struggled with the drawing of the chair while learning about positive and negative space. But then... you pulled it all together, got into the zone, and made an awesome drawing of the egret! You did a great job of looking for the negative space around the edges; then you drew accurate contour lines to form its body. Great job on working large on the paper while keeping accurate proportions. Keep looking for the negative space; then drawing accurate contour lines for the edges of the objects you're looking at. This will help you during the next weeks of the course. Hey, try this week's drawing challenge...

This week's drawing challenge:
Look around the classroom or in your back pack. Find an interesting object. It can be a stapler, a piece of your jewelry, or a watch; anything that you can set in front of you to draw. Take a moment to see the negative space surrounding the object... that's where you'll lightly draw the contour lines that show the edges of its form (like you did with the egret). You can add lines and patterns to show textures. HOT TIP: Start by lightly drawing basic shapes of the objects to help you get accurate proportions.
