Nick



The speed and looseness of these sketches make for an amazing development in your skills!! You continue to push through to new levels of drawing, Nick! The accurate line work in your contour study sketch is awesome. The powerful mid and dark tones do a great job highlighting the organic contours of the agave leaves. Your composition looks very painterly. Keep expanding on this sketching style, man!

The lines and shapes of your classroom sketch makes for a strong minimalist 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!
