Sketches from class: 2/3 and 2/10


Just some values and attempts at flowers. This is from the first class.


This stream scene was from the cover of a magazine called "Ozark Mountains". I couldn't do all the leaves justice, but the overall shapes and much of the values I did get.

Excellent! Sorry that I haven't posted anything in response yet, but rest assured I have a Grue sketch that's coming together very soon. :)

It looks to me, and I'm not sure if I could be considered a professional on this yet or not, that you still have quite a heavy hand and need to loosen up your grip on the pencil a bit and try to let things flow a little more. However, listen to your art teacher first and foremost, but I'd be very curious if my advice helps in any way.

Several years ago, in pre-Architecture studio, we spent a couple of days just drawing straight lines down a large sheet of newsprint paper. I'm not kidding, STRAIGHT. LINES.

Hi! Thanks!

We are learning "values" and she wanted to see some heavy strokes and values, if that's what you mean? I was using some pretty soft pencils there at the end.

Ack, you are going to make my Grue sketch look t3h l4me. *chuckle*
