Raquel

You nailed the lesson of drawing the negative space around the chair, right away! Then you got into the zone and did a great job of drawing looking for the negative space around the egret. The contour lines showing the form of its body, 's' curve in the neck, and head are very well drawn. I REALLY like how you included the contour edges that show the details and textures of the feathers. Adding the plants to your composition is a nice touch. Raquel, you're starting to see the world as an artist. Keep focused on drawing accurate proportions and contour lines in the upcoming weeks. If you've got time, try this week's 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.
