Fall is in the air! What better way to learn about drawing contours and form than to sketch pumpkins, Indian corn, and apples. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the group of sketchers the past four weeks. They swiftly moved through lessons on drawing with lines and shapes (click to view); then positive/negative space and drawing after Van Gogh (click to view). I look forward to drawing with everyone again soon!
For our final lesson we started with sketches showing roundness and contours. We continued through the evening by drawing texture and studied light and shadows. Tonya's pumpkin and squash (upper left) and Susan's studies of a pumpkin (upper right) are superb examples of quickly capturing the form of things. The sketch by Adam (lower left) shows his study of texture and cast shadows.

Wonderful how you worked hard at refining your line work and sketching accurate proportions! Keep exploring positive and negative space and the world of textures. :-)

As I've said before, it has been a pleasure to see the transformation in your skills from the first time you put pencil to paper to these final study sketches. Keep your pencil strokes loose while mapping your composition; then nail down those final contours.
