Haley

Haley, you've pushed your drawing skills to new levels each week, and your drawings show it!! When you're in the zone (iPod and all), your observational skills are sharp. The contour lines showing the roundness of the pumpkin and the texture of its stem are a great example of your improved sketching skills. The textures and contours of the shells are very well drawn. I really like how, toward the end of class, you got into drawing the contour edges that form the weird-looking shell for a really nice study sketch.


This week's drawing challenge (if you have time, of course): Find an object from the classroom or your backpack. Select this object specifically for its different textures. For example, show the fabric of a jacket or piece of cloth (try shading the areas where it folds), or the roughness of a piece of wood, or the difference between shiny and rough metal. Show textures by using tones, cross-hatching, jagged lines, wavy lines, or broken lines. Have fun!
