Just realized I never posted this. Don’t know why I had trouble with the small one in the back.
Why were these so difficult? Thanks, Scott
I enjoyed this session , didn’t realized would be hard to draw tomatoes.
I have enjoyed the challenges of these classes and any subject we are given by Scott to draw, becomes so enjoyable with the teaching and comments of others in the class. Thank you to all!
Thanks Scott for another great episode!
Graphite on very smooth paper.
I agree with Adele Kan; I tried for no lines, but found it necessary for the stems. Thanks for another fun class, Scott! I’m a little wary of the upcoming kitten, but looking forward to giving it a try.

Never knew tomatoes could be so difficult. I really tried for no lines…. succeeded with the tomatoes but not with the stems, otherwise it would of been a huge mess lol. Thanks for another great session Scott.
Thank you Scott for your classes, I have learnt a lot.
Another enjoyable lesson. Was happy with how it turned out.

Thank you! I always wanted to go to art school after high school but my parents couldn’t afford it. So, I’m all self taught – much of it through youtube aside from a couple painting courses at a community college. I really appreciate this video series!
I approached this the same way as you did, Scott, with shape not line, which is really not intuitive for me! Lol. I think I did ok but I believe my tomato shapes would have been more accurate starting with line…for me anyway. Good lesson though to force yourself to do things that are uncomfortable!
Nice work!
Wonderful work here!
This looks great, Vickie!
Enjoyed” Drawing Together” today!
Thanks,Scott!
