   Shiny metal is a challenge! But these are classes to better our skills and I’m so glad to be able to draw with Scott,

   Loved drawing the leaf and the tomatoes! I’d actually woven a tapestry of a fall leaf many years ago. Thank you!

   Here’s my door knob. I kept thinking it looks like a light fixture. I had a real hard time drawing the back plate vs. the knob. Took me forever! Thanks Scott for another session!

    Great job! A good ol’ #2 pencil is a wonderful drawing tool!

    This looks great! I like to hear that you’re enjoying the process!

    This looks great! Very nice value control. You ask a good question about reducing the visibility of those pencil marks. From what I can see here, you’ve got a great start and it might simply require far more layers of graphite. My drawings often look similar to yours in the earlier stages and may require 10-20 light layers of cross-hatching to make the individual lines less intense. Using a paper towel or the palm of your hand to gently wipe down the drawing and soften the marks is also helpful. It might also be that the tip of the pencil is being used a bit too much, so try to use the side of the pencil lead as much as possible. It’s a really strong drawing as it is though, so keep at it!

    That was fun! I had the most trouble trying to lay down an even tone for the background – mine shows lots of pencil marks that were impossible to blend out. How do I avoid that? Thanks for the tutorial.

    This one was super challenging but a great exercise! Not too happy with my drawing, but it’s a process :}

    Fort time attempting metal surface and reflections in the doorknob drawing. HB, 4B, 6B graphite pencils on 9×12 Canson 50# white paper. Thanks to the Artist Network for hosting weekly online classes.

    This was pretty fun- probably should have used my mechanical eraser for some of the fine highlights. Good lesson!

    In drawing reflections, you must trust drawing abstract shapes
    I had such fun with this challenge
    Thank you Scott
