Looks better on my phone than in person.
Thank you for another great challenge! I am always amazed by how you make these drawings come together without having to put in too much detail.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! This looks great!
Wicked nice!
Great work here! I love the texture!
I love the way you defined the splashes and water flow from the whale.
Hello Scott,
This drawing was an enjoyable workout!
Urszula
Fun.
Really enjoyed this session. Really pleased with the way this turned out. Except I think water could be a little better. Thanks Scott for the challenges each. They have definitely gotten me stepping out and trying new mediums
Great job here, Lynn!
Nice wor, Michelle I love the light in this drawing!

Great work here, Cindy!
This looks great!
Beautiful work here!
Used blue tone paper with Staedtler black pencils and white charcoal pencil.
Enjoyed trying to catch the feeling of movement..fun class!
Loved this one. Thanks
Trying to draw faster and let it go. Drawing with Scott is always a pleasure. Thank you
I usually stick with graphite but took the charcoal challenge today! My whale appears to be made of wood, and might be on fire ? but this was a really fun challenge. And it’s keeping me sane, so far!
That was a whale of session. Drawing together is such fun.
Thanks, Scott

Great Scott! You are making a big splash on my work, and creating a whale of a follower! Merci beaucoup for another great session. Please continue… you are making a draughtperson out of me. Same materials as before.
Fantastic project! Really enjoyed it. Thanks, Scott! Can’t wait for next week’s session.
What a great session. I love drawing on the toned paper and using the white charcoal. I still find drawing the water a challenger: can’t seem to get the right texture. A lot of fun! Thank you.
Oops heres my image
I got overwhelmed half way through and panicked ? the spray of water effect came out more like spaghetti- oh well might try again later.
Thanks for the whale lesson class! This is my whale! I enjoyed drawing the splash of water!
