Miranda

Your hard work during the past weeks is REALLY starting to show in your drawing!! As you learned about positive and negative space (excellent work on the chair) your ability to draw accurate proportions improved dramatically. The contour edges of the egret and the poppy are VERY well drawn. Nice details on the poppy. You're beginning to see the world like an artist, Miranda. Stay focused on the accuracy of proportions and contour edges in the upcoming weeks. Push your skills; go for the details in 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.
