Penny



Your practice in drawing with lines and shapes has really paid off!!! It was so cool watching you catch errors in proportions as you sketched fresh, accurate guidelines for corrections. (I didn't get the study sketches from you after class, so they're not posted here.) In your sketchbook, keep practicing sketching light guidelines for things, making quick corrections, then finishing with confident contour lines.

The egret and dragonfly are BIG-time breakthroughs for you in drawing realistically, Penny!!! You did an excellent job of using positive/negative space to sketch the contour edges forming the egret. Great detail work in the subtleties of the feathers and facial features, especially the beak!

I know that drawing the dragonfly was a challenge but your preliminary sketching yielded VERY accurate proportions. Excellent contour lines showing the edges of the legs and detailed, transparent wings. I'm really liking the lines you laid down for the contours of the legs. Nice work in drawing the 3D angle of its body and wings. Superb effort!
