The lesson about positive and negative space was a huge step in your drawing skills, Zach! The chair started out as a challenge; then you started seeing and drawing the negative space around chair--you got it! Great job of drawing the contour lines for the overall form of the egret. The 's' curve in its neck is drawn accurately. The details of the beak and head are drawn well. Excellent job of drawing the overall form of the poppy. Keep looking for where the positive and negative space meet, forming the contour edges of what you're drawing. Also, I really want you to keep drawing in the direction of your last abstract drawing. Your subject matter, subtle shading, and textures are looking VERY cool! Let's see what you come up with for 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.
