Welcome back to the Star Sketchers, Nick!! The control of your line work has improved big-time! (You're getting used to drawing with the pencil on its side.) Excellent job of drawing accurate proportions of the lizard. The textures on its body and the wood are well drawn. I really like how you make lots of study sketches to find accurate proportions (the sizes of shapes compared to other shapes). The proportions of the puffer fish are very accurately drawn. And the gray tones on the lizard's and puffer's bodies are a really nice touch. Great job of drawing your buildings in 2-point perspective. Check the vertical lines to make sure they're all parallel. Keep drawing light guidelines before finishing with darker outlines.



Drawing Challenge: Get Abstract!
If you have time, here's a little challenge for you to during the next couple of weeks: Use lines, shapes, and tones (black and grays) to create an abstract drawing. Abstract artwork doesn't show people, places, or things. Use the whole sheet of paper--draw big! Have fun! Use your imagination!
