Miranda



The rhythm and harmony of your pencil strokes flowed into a beautiful composition, Miranda!!! You kept a sharp eye for accuracy while loosening up with multi-directional lines, especially in the darker tones. Your line work looks like brush strokes in an impressionist painting. Way cool how you used the kneaded eraser to blend the highlights with mid tones. It will be interesting to see how your drawing style develops as you keep sketching quickly and accurately.

Your view of the chalkboard for the classroom sketch divides the paper into a very interesting and balanced 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!
