Freddy C.

You definitely made BIG progress last week, Freddy!! Drawing the negative space around the chair made you a little crazy... but you stuck with it. And then you focused on doing a FANTASTIC job of drawing the negative space around the egret. The contour lines that form its body, neck, and head are drawn very well, especially where you show the textures of the feathers. The 's' curve of the neck is accurately drawn and the details for the face and beak are very cool! If you're feeling like drawing this week, go for the 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.
