    These leaves look great Anne Marie! I am always picturing an open book when I draw leaves because it helps me remember where the highlights and shadows would be. I think Wendy explains it in her book.

    You are getting there Anne Marie- the secondary veins are not as evident as they were on the previous post. Also when you look at a leaf you will often find that the secondary veins connect to the main vein. The left edge is now more defined, but be careful not to have it outlined. I would lighten the left edge as it is an area that is in…[Read more]

    Gorgeous Erin! The pillows are reading really well! That is always the big question – am I done? I think as time goes by it becomes easier to recognize when a drawing is done. Especially if you are uncertain, but also just in general if you take a break from working on a piece it can give you some perspective when you look at it again. A lot of…[Read more]

    Hi Deborah- I would never guess this is your first veggie! It is already a wonderful drawing and with the tweaks I suggested it will be even more so. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

    Thank you so much for your help! This was the first veggie I drew in the first class I took here, and will definitely address these issues. I will also practice my toning.

      Thank you so much Doug. Thank you too Eirn. Wendy advises it in her book. As Dough says it’s really helpful too to remember where things go. really helpful.

      I hadn’t thought about it being helpful to know where the shadows and light are until you suggested it Doug. I am going to do it going forward to get lots of practice with leaves.

    This drawing has gotten to the point where I’m not sure if it needs anything more and/or I’m afraid of ruining it. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Great turnip Deborah! It is beautifully drawn with good attention to the details! There are a couple of things to consider. If a subject is very shiny, that is portrayed by having a very white highlight as you have shown here. I don’t think of turnips as being particularly shiny and if that is the case with yours I would add some color and tone d…[Read more]

    Welcome to the ArtFeed Deborah! Your drawing is nicely rendered and your color selection and saturation on the beet are really good! Your main highlight is almost in the center and ideally should be over to the left a little. I would also make the outside edge of the highlight more irregular so it does not appear as such a distinct circle. Wonderful job!
