Exquisite egret, Allison!!! I really like the way you explored positive and negative space in your study sketch--loose, bold strokes indicate the surrounding negative space. Your spontaneous, quick-sketch lines did a great job of suggesting the texture of the feathers near the legs. Keep practicing this sketching technique in your sketchbook!
On your final egret drawing, you did a great job of sketching guidelines; then finishing with concise contour edges for its accurate form. The delicate gradations in the shading are very well drawn!! Wonderful how you carefully worked the pencil to define the subtleties in tones for the curved planes forming the feathers. The highlights on the wings and neck are awesome!
The spontaneity and progressive accuracy of your study sketches of the dragonfly are simply wonderful!! The control of your contour lines in your final drawing are very well drawn. Cool how you used heavier lines for the body and thinner lines for the transparent wings. Great eye for accuracy--you nailed the body and wings perfectly. Fantastic detail work. Keep practicing quick study sketches; I think you'll start to really like the results of of your quick takes as much, or more, than your tight renditions.
