I must say, I do like how this drawing turned out – in large part due to Pam’s workshop and recommendations.

Oh how I wish! But this May is impossible for me. Hoping there is a 2028!

Thanks – I struggled with how to do that – have the paper be the darker tone? Use greys? Any recommendations?

I agree! I have toned the base of the green onion since this photo was taken but the cast shadow is a helpful reminder – thanks! I’ll work on the drawing and repost.

Not an easy color to capture and you have done a wonderful job! The texture looks a little grainy rather than a smooth texture. Less lines and more overall saturation would achieve the smooth finish. There is a whitish line between the cast shadows and the eggplant which should not be there. If that is meant to be a reflected light it should be on…[Read more]

Wonderful Katie! I think each individual tuber have nice form, but I would add more overall darker toning to the areas that would be in shadow like the bottom which would emphasize the form more. Great job! Wonderful rendering and attention to the details!

The problem I have is with the green onion. The base is missing toning so it is reading flat. Also, the red onion would be casting a shadow on the green onion. I would work on that first and then decide if you want to add cast shadows to ground the onions to the page.

Zinnias are a complicated flower to draw and you have done a wonderful job here! Beautifully rendered and the color selection and saturation are fantastic!

Beautifully drawn Helene! I would consider darkening the shadows on the stems we see glimpses of. I would expect the shadows to be a little deeper and it would also make the flowers stand out more.
