Tiana


This picture is fantastic, Tiana! It's a great example of how to draw the realistic form of an object. You've done an excellent job of drawing the curves at the top and bottom of the wafer tin. The curved lines of the lid match the curve at the bottom, making the tin look 3D! I really like how you included details of the package design and logo. The gray tones work nicely to balance the composition. Take a moment to check the 3 lines of words below the Ferro logo. The lines of words should be on a curve that matches the curved line at the bottom of the tin. Do they match?

Excellent composition, Gage!! What sets this drawing off is the natural curve of the flower stems and the contours of the leaves--VERY good line work! I like how the horizon line is defused behind the water, and the distortion of the stems give the illusion of water. The subtle background shading gives lots of depth to the drawing. Very nice details in the flowers and use of color. The cast shadow is a nice realistic touch. You changed your usual drawing style for this one. :)

Now this is a realistic-looking stapler!! Wonderful observational skills, Shaylah. You took the time to measure accurate proportions and perspective. The perspective angles of the base of the stapler are correct. :) What's really cool is how you drew the curved bottom edge of the handle and shading underneath the handle, making your drawing look 3D. Overall, you did a great job of shading. The highlight, where the top and side of handle meet, is a nice touch.

Grab the pasta, turn on the stove, this pan is ready for cooking! You did an excellent job of drawing the curved metallic surface, inside and outside of the pan. The details of the handle are very well drawn. The cast shadow of the handle does a wonderful job of showing depth in your picture. The highlight on the handle is a nice realistic touch. Compare the curve of the closest top edge of the pan to the bottomedge curve. Are they the same?

Jamee


Whoa, Jamee! Your Picasso still life is awesome! Since this is a copy of your still life, we're unable to see your superb use of color and realistic shading. Overall, the proportions of the pitcher, apples, and plate are very well drawn. Your contour lines and careful shading make this composition look 3D!

Lots of cool details in this drawing!! You've done an excellent job of combining patterns and textures to create a highly stylized composition. I like the balanced combination of curved and angled lines of the dragon. You've created depth with an interesting foreground and background. Might be interesting to develop the dragon character further by sketching different positions and actions.

Alright Zach! You're putting your skills to work by combining basic lines and shapes to create this flower. Excellent job of drawing contour lines that show the form of the leaves. You did a great job of showing the form of the flower pot with curved lines and shading. This is a big step to drawing realistically!

Leif


This is an excellent drawing, Leif!! You've done a great job of drawing the form of the cooking plate. Details of the control on the side of the plate, and the feet underneath add realism to your picture. Your excellent shading for the inside and front side shows the curved contours of its form. The perspective of the power cord is very well drawn. The only thing this drawing needs is... to be much, much larger! :) Keep going in this direction with your drawing.
