Loosening up your line work and getting more expressive was an amazingly BIG step in your drawing, Allison!!! You pulled together some wonderfully spontaneous sketches!! Excellent how you launched into generating lots of study sketches, starting with your simple contour drawings. The contour studies gave you a solid understanding of form on which to build your new, spontaneous sketching style. As the evening progressed, your experimentation with varied line widths and tones showed quick results in your squash sketches--especially where you added shadows. But you really got into the zone and showed something completely new in the artichoke sketches. Excellent how you cut loose with your line work while maintaining accuracy in your final, larger artichoke drawing. Explore this further in your sketchbook! And, if you can finish your Van Gogh sketch you'll discover more ways of using line work to depict form and textures.
Hope you can finish this awesome Van Gogh sketch. Nice 2-point perspective drawing! Are you thinking of starting your new career as an architect? :-)
