Weeks, 2, 3, & 4: Form, Contours, Positive/Negative Space



 Lots of excellent drawing happening here! We started learning to draw realistically while learning to see positive and negative space and draw contour edges. Ashley's study sketches of the egret, shown above, are wonderful examples of making corrections to show accurate, realistic curves in the neck.






Jesus' dragonfly sketch (upper left) shows spot-on proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) and realistic contour edges. Luis took his jaguar to large format paper while keeping accurate proportions. He also explored various graphite pencils.



Louden Nelson Sketchers continued with solid progress in drawing with lines and shapes. Azalia's tiger (upper left) shows how she drew on top of mistakes to find accurate proportions. The proportions of Isa's touch (upper right) are very well drawn.


Jasmine made some cool Halloween sketches while looking at one of my how-to-draw books.

Wonderful progress, Rielly! Excellent proportions and details on the jaguar. I know you've worked hard at these sketches. Keep it going!


Jesus
Your skills keep improving with each new drawing! The control in line work and eye for accuracy really show in these sketches. Great work in seeing negative space to accurately draw the curve in the egret's neck. The dragonfly shows excellent contour edges and proportions!



 


Amanda
Great to have you join the LN Sketchers! You jumped in by using lines and shapes to show accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes, especially the jaguar and toucan. The lighter and darker tones on the toucan are a nice touch. Your next step is to draw more realistically.
 
 



Maria
Simply delightful line work, Maria! The study sketches of the egret show your use of negative space as you corrected the curve of its neck. Nice use of lighter and darker tones of your drawings. Excellent contour edges on the dragonfly!

 



Jasmine
You just keep pushing forward with improving your skills! Great start in using positive and negative space in your study sketch of the egret. Hope you can finish it :-) Excellent proportions and contours of the dragonfly. Really like how you kept sketching over mistakes until finding accurate proportions of the tiger face.








Ashley
You mad huge steps in controlling your line work and seeing accurate proportions! Your confidence is really starting to show in your sketches. Keep it going!
 
 



Luis
Excellent progress, man! The proportions of the dragonfly are spot-on. And the contour edges of its body are very well drawn. Great work in keeping accurate proportions of the jaguar while drawing on large paper.








Cesar
Excellent set of sketches, Cesar! Your eye for accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) just gets better with each new drawing, especially the realistic dragonfly. The lighter and darker tones are nice touches in your work.



 











Azalia
Your hard work is really starting show in these sketches! Really like how you sketched over your mistakes as you searched for accurate proportions of the tiger and jaguar. Great job in doing study sketches to find the shapes of the lizard. Keep it going!
