Thanks for another challenging session! All the different textures were quite difficult.
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your materials. Great use of light and texture!
Wonderful, Vickie!
Looks great, Vickie!
Thanks, Cindy! This looks great!
Very nice work here!
This looks great!
I’m glad to hear that the suggestion was helpful! This drawing looks great!
This looks great! You did a great job with the texture on the top of the pie. It’s a tough one!
This looks great. Such rich mark-making!
Continuing to work at these.
my plate first looked like a soggy paper plate, a little wonky. Now I’m not sure the ice cream looks edible!
my plate looked like a soggy paper plate for a while. Not sure my ice cream looks edible!
Scott, I loved your suggestion to start from the center of the form….now if I can only remember it! Please review ‘paying attention to the direction of the marks in the cast shadow’. Thanks again.
It’s pie. Thanks for the videos!
Great lesson, Scott. Thanks for the thought you put into selecting these lessons. I drew my pie on textured white charcoal paper which gave it any interesting look.
Love your classes and drawing. keep trying acrylics and watercolor, but good old drawing seems to work best for me.
My eyes have been on the pie!
Thanks Scott for Drawing Together!

Very Interesting session. Simple subject but, not so simple drawing, because of abstract forms despite realistic photo of the subject. Charcoal Strathmore, laid finished paper. 14X18, vine charcoal, 2B, 6B charcoal pencils.

There is more to the eye when drawing a piece of pie! Another fun session. Hopefully draftmanship is improving. Drawn on Strathmore Charcoal paper laid finish, 64 lbs, 9 x 12, using Staedtler Mars Luminograph 100 series, 2B, 3B and 4B, kneaded eraser.
