Did this on slowly to get the proportions and size right. Enjoyed working on this with all the details and multiple plains.
So hard trying to get the proportions right! It’s so helpful when you call out the measurements you use and your anchor points and angle sightings.
Thank you Claude!
A year already?! Thank you for staying with us. This is a beautiful drawing!
You’re very welcome:) Thank you for posting this beautiful drawing!
This is great. It really captures the spirit of the exercise!
Beautiful work!
Nice. I love the mark-making, Cindy!
Nice work!
Wonderful work again, Claude.
That’s great to hear, Monica. This is a wonderful drawing.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
I took a week off drawing and this was the first drawing I did
Well done. I really like your mark making…. very uniform. Really feels like you can quickly sketch anything. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy doing these classes. It’s Helping me to get back into what I like most to do. This and colored pencils. So glad I ran across these sessions and that you offer them for free. Much appreciated , thanks Scott!
Great Scott! Really enjoyed this one. The short time drawing together just flies by. Thank you so much for doing this!
I should take the time to finish these, but as you point out, it is good to just do it, and push ourselves and keep learning.
Stay safe… we need you.
I had a hard time to draw the face.
I had a hard time to draw the face.
I left it at sketch mode. Thank you Scott for another great class.
Thank you Scott for an interesting session!
I could work on it more, and improve some parts, overall i am happy with the outcome. I am looking forward to the next one!
I didn’t allow myself time to try this correctly, but if I were urban sketching I would be happy with it in the distance.
This was a lot of fun! Scott, you have way more patience than I do.
I cannot believe we are approaching a full year of Drawing Together. Many thanks to you, Scott, and to Artist’s Network.
This is my drawing! I love figure drawing.Drawing Together will be an art community for almost a year! I have enjoyed the instruction so much.
