Yes!! Freddy!! The negative/positive space lesson (the chair) was a challenge at first. But while drawing the negative space at the bottom of the page you got into it! Your drawing of the egret is a huge step towards drawing realistically. It shows how you started seeing where the negative space around the bird and the positive space of the itself. You drew accurate contour edges that form the egret. I really like you included detailed contour edges for the feathers. Hey man, push your skills a little; if you have time, 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.
