Wonderful!
Tried implementing negative drawing for the first time. Great session Scott.
Here’s my dad’s drawing. He’s 95 as of yesterday! He wasn’t that happy with it…but I think it’s pretty good!
First time in a long while I’ve gotten to do one of these lessons! I didn’t get the body quite right, it’s a bit long I think. Had fun though!
Another challenging episode!
Love the freedom of your marks. Well done!
Fun feathered friend. Thank you
Stonehenge white paper, Blackwing pencils.
A great challenge. Thanks Scott.
This one stayed in the ugly duckling phase for a long time for me. But happy with my final results.
Hi Scott, Here is my drawing. I really enjoyed doing this live with everyone. Monica
Hello Scott, here is my rendering of a mocking bird. As usual I enjoyed the drawing a lot.
Happy New Year from CT/East Cost
Hi Scott, I wish you a very happy 2021 ! A 4 week curfew is starting in Montreal. I will have more time to draw . Here is my mockingbird drawing. 🙂
Merci for another good session Scott. As there was a bit more time, the Prismacolor Premier coloured pencils came out, and were overlayed onto the Staedtler Liminograph drawing pencils, again on DeSerres Fabriano mixed media paper. See you next week!
Wonderfully challenging! Love drawing wildlife!!
