Jamee

Great job on drawing the negative space around the chair, Jamee! Learning about negative space helped you to sketch accurate contour lines for the egret. Overall, you did an awesome job of drawing the form of the egret! The contour lines showing the edges of its body and head are drawn well. The plants in the picture are a nice touch. Going into these next weeks concentrate on looking for where the negative space meets the object you're drawing. Keep practicing drawing accurate contour lines. Take your contour lines to the next level in this week's challenge...

This week's drawing challenge:
Look around the classroom or in your back pack. Find an interesting object. It can be a stapler, a piece of your jewelry, or a watch; anything that you can set in front of you to draw. Take a moment to see the negative space surrounding the object... that's where you'll lightly draw the contour lines that show the edges of its form (like you did with the egret). You can add lines and patterns to show textures. HOT TIP: Start by lightly drawing basic shapes of the objects to help you get accurate proportions.
