Arianna
Arianna, you were definitely last week's Drawing Machine!!! You cranked out a bunch of quick sketches that show wonderfully expressive line work--lots of movement and rhythm going on! I really like how you experimented with different ways to capture the organic curves of the agave. With each new sketch your contour lines for the plant's leaves became more accurate. Excellent job of sketching bold lines to show a nice contrast between shadow areas, mid tones, and highlights.
Cool sketch of the classroom! You loaded all kinds of details making for an interesting composition.
This week's drawing challenge: Find an object that has interesting patterns and textures to draw. Make 3 quick study sketches of it in different positions (sign and date your sketches for me, please). Then, focus on one part or area of the object to use for a dramatic composition, like how we focused on one area of the agave instead of the whole plant. Get expressive with your line work. Fill the whole paper. Include lots of details that will make for a provocative composition. Enjoy!
