Our Teachers (and Keeley, too!)

Keeley
So cool that you got to draw with us on Friday. Welcome to the SLV Sketchers! You got a great start on your van Gogh drawing Friday. And you did an excellent job of cross-hatching lines on the cube.

Hilda

Great job x 2! I really like how you experimented with tones in one of your drawings, and cross-hatching in the other one. Both drawings are excellent representations of the form of the man's head, but the dramatic shading of the one on the left really stands out. And the proportions are quite accurate! Check the proportion of the distance from the back of the head to the front edges of the face. Excellent cube.

Patty

Excellent job of using lines and tones to show the form of the old man's head! Great job of using bold lines to show the cheek bone and the area of the neck muscle, especially where the muscle, jaw and cheek converge. I really like the shading and highlights you've drawn to show the texture of the skin and hair. Check the reference picture to measure the distance from back of the head to the front edge of the face. Also compare the size of the brow area to the size of the chin.
