Miranda

Miranda, you've punched through to a whole new level of drawing realistically! You quickly and lightly sketched the overall shape of the pumpkin, making adjustments to proportions without erasing. Curved contour lines show the the natural roundness of the form of the pumpkin. Excellent job of showing the contours and textures of the stem. And Leonardo da Vinci's old man is VERY well drawn! You've drawn accurate contour lines and proportions of his head, and cross-hated lines to show texture and form.



Compare your drawing of the old man to the reference picture of Leonardo da Vinci's drawing. Are the proportions of his forehead, nose and chin drawn accurately? Check the distance between the ear and back of the head for accuracy. For reference click here.

This week's drawing challenge (if you have time, of course): Once again, find an object from the classroom or your backpack. But select this object specifically for its different textures. For example, show the fabric of a jacket or piece of cloth (try shading the areas where it folds), or the roughness of a piece of wood, or the difference between shiny and rough metal. Show textures by using tones, cross-hatching, jagged lines, wavy lines, or broken lines. Have fun!
