Your powerful sketching ability is captured beautifully in these drawings, Emily! Your quick eye for accuracy is matched with flowing contour lines, tones, and cross-hatching (one of your specialties). I REALLY like how you captured the organic form of the plant with delicate contour lines in your study sketches; then powered through a dramatic composition that pushed your pencil strokes in all directions while keeping an accurate representation of the plant. It's all held together with the control and rhythm shown in the movement of your pencil.
And your challenge sketch of the classroom is a wonderful execution of perspective drawing! Great job of using angled lines and shapes and tones to create a fascinating composition.
This week's drawing challenge: Find an object that has interesting patterns and textures to draw. Make 3 quick study sketches of it in different positions (sign and date your sketches for me, please). Then, focus on one part or area of the object to use for a dramatic composition, like how we focused on one area of the agave instead of the whole plant. Get expressive with your line work. Fill the whole paper. Include lots of details that will make for a provocative composition. Enjoy!
