Tiana

Tiana, your Leger composition is VERY well drawn!! Excellent use of gray to show the different color values. Great job of including details and overlapping things such as the plant over the shirt. You did a very good job of capturing Leger's art style by drawing bold outlines.


The proportions of your Picasso composition are VERY well drawn. You got an excellent start on shading, especially the apples on the plate. The highlights make the apples look 3D! I'll bring your drawing to class so you can finish it next week, if you have time.


REALLY like your drawing of the egret! You did an excellent job of drawing the bird's overall form. The contour edges of the neck and body are very well drawn. Particularly cool is how you took the time to draw the details of the head and intricate contours of the feathers and legs.

Your bold shading style looks awesome on your Picasso drawing! I really like how you blended dark and light shadows to show the form of the apples, pitcher, and plate. Especially cool are the highlights on the pitcher and apples. Compare your drawing to the reference picture. Are the apples on the plate and table positioned correctly?


This eagle looks like it's going to fly right off the paper! You did an excellent job of creating depth in your picture by overlapping the wings and lightly drawing the mountain in the background. What makes this drawing come to life is the way you showed the movement of the wings of the bird and tail of the fish. The curves in the wings look very natural. Great job of adding the details of the feathers.


Excellent start in drawing your hand! The contour lines, where the thumb is grasping the ruler look very realistic and natural. Keep concentrating on sketching the edges of things to show their form.

Zach

Your drawing is progressing wonderfully, Zach! Drawing the contour edges of the egret was a big step towards drawing realistically. You did an excellent job of capturing the 'S' curve of the neck and the form of the body. If you have time this week, it would be great if you could draw the Leger 'Cow' or Picasso still life. Hilda or other students may be able to help you with some of the basics. Keep drawing! :)


Excellent work on these lessons! You did a great job of drawing the 3D form of the jaguar. The proportions of the jaguar, dino, and car are very well drawn. I really like the gray tones on the dino and car.

Doug

EXCELLENT work on the Leger composition! You did a very good job of creating the bold outlines and adding lots of details. The proportions of everything are very well drawn, particularly the form of the cow, shirt, and chair. If you have time this week go ahead and draw the Picasso apples and pitcher still life, but don't use the grid lines. :)

Leif

Excellent start on the Leger composition, Leif! You did a great job of including details, such as the hat and chair. I like the contrast of the dark bold lines of the background tree and chair, compared to the rest of the picture. The proportions of the cow and fence are well drawn. Compare your drawing to the reference picture. Is the space in the left of the composition, where the chair is, filled the same?


You had a big breakthrough on the drawing of your fist! You took the time to shift over to the right side of the brain and concentrated on drawing the contour edges of your hand. Keep working on this process of drawing, Leif. :)

Gage

VERY good start on the Leger composition, Gage! You laid down confident, bold lines and gray tones. Great job of overlapping the tree over the shirt. Overall, the proportions are very well drawn. I'll bring your drawing to class Friday so you can finish it, if you have time next week.


You got an great start on drawing the contour lines for your hand! If you have time this week try drawing one or two different poses of your hand, concentrating only on contours and edges.

Hilda
Your Leger composition is OUTSTANDING!! All of your skills, including line work and shading, came together beautifully on this one. The proportions are very well drawn. I really like the bold lines you used.


Excellent job of drawing the Picasso still life. Your blending of shadows does a great job of showing the form of the pitcher and apples.


Wow! The contour drawing of your hand were a big step to drawing realistically from life. Keep practicing contour lines, whenever you get a chance. Great job!

These are some scary-looking fish! You've done a great job of drawing contour lines and shading to show their form. The foreshortening of the fish on the left is very well drawn.

Patty
Your! Drawing! Is! Beautiful!!!
