Yes. It is hard to get all the tones in such a narrow space. I will practice more! -

Hi Kyra- great job on the cylinders and branch segment! You have nice smooth toning. On the branch segment I would lighten the tone on either side of the highlight. It is too strong a jump in tone from the highlight to the tone flanking it. Quite often the highlight on a branch will not be the same from top to bottom. It follows the shape of the…[Read more]

Greetings! Amaryllis bulbs are one of my favorite subjects.!!!! There are two things that strike me right away about your drawing. To begin with I see very little toning so the bulb doesn’t have much form and reads flat. Remember that there should be a range of tones from the highlight thru very dark to convey a subject’s form. Secondly, there nee…[Read more]

Love your detail. Someday I hope I will be able to do that:)

Thanks Sam. I watched the webinar last night. Someone asked if it is to scale…it is. I might leave it there…I’ll think about it!

WOW love this. You really got the scales of the needles perfectly.

Hi Sam, Yes I can see on the scan that it is not defined enough. Very helpful. Thanks. It’s really true that reds are hard. The other thing is the tight buds, at least on this variety, had more blue in them. I had to erase some areas and redo them but that’s the process, right? I’m channeling Georgia O’Keefe on the full frontal view!! -

What a lovely drawing. I had to look up the perpetual journal but what a facinating idea, 1 page a week and adding to it each year. Hmmm… shall I… ? 💕

I sure could use some help making this drawing look less drawn. Something with the darks, or shades. I am not sure but it is not finished. Thanks you!!

In the webinar today many of us love this drawing just as it is now, Ishbel. It’s so great to see your process and approach.

We love this drawing Douglass! Way to go – I also like Katy’s suggestions.

We’ll be so lucky if we get the bonus of seeing another view. 🙂 This is a beautiful drawing. It’s so hard to achieve saturated reds and a great range of values in reds. Beautifully done, and so nice that it offered you flowers in so many stages. Today in the webinar we thought you could still add dark sepia in a few key places to darken and…[Read more]

Such great work, Sheila. I haven’t drawn one myself yet so haven’t looked closely at the fibrous/hairy part. Could it use more definition there or would you emboss next time – or is it that light and soft? What do you think?

Beautiful subtle drawing. It has the coloring of an old master. The left side is particularly beautiful. I’d put a bit more work on the right side. It seems to flatten out. A bit more tone on the bottom would help. Try to round it more.
Thank you for comments, Katy. I know what you mean about right side. I have worked and worked on it and just been unable to make it happen. I think I had more tone on bottom which I erased, but I will try it again, maybe with a different color.
Thank you for comments–you are absolutely right about the perspective being off. I measured to a fair-thee-well, but perhaps I wasn’t careful enough about my movement. I did some toning on the lower edge and it is better but still not what I would like. I have eaten my model now but will try another this winter and see if I can’t get it right.
