Zach T



Zach, your observational drawing skills just keep on improving! (It's catching up with your cool abstract drawing style!) The overall proportions of the pumpkin are very well drawn. You did a great job of showing the roundness of its form by drawing curved contour lines. I really like the textures and contours of the stem and how it's attached to the top. You really turned on your eye for detail while drawing Leonardo's old man! Great job of using lines and tones to define the form of his face and head. Overall, the proportions and contour edges are very well drawn. Keep it going, man!



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!
