I can’t wait til I know how to do this! I’m on lesson 3 in Basics…….Patience…I love the delicate milkweed strands.

Thanks for the tips. I haven’t been at this long so it is good to have someone with more experience evaluating it

Exciting…. I’m collecting squash characters….

I say move on and keep doing more! And you can ask yourself: Am I getting my darks in? Have I chosen where to leave/put my good strong highlights? Do I have a full range of values from dark to light in my tone bar and in my subject? Have I defined a nice, clean edge with a sharpened pencil? Have I clearly shown my overlaps? Draw on.

Way to go Pat! This drawing is stunning. Make prints and mail it out as Autumn greeting cards. 🙂

Love it, as usual. 🙂

Kiatakes are the key to learning. 🙂 May we make many Kiatakes together in our drawing practice.

Beautiful, Jill. I’m curious if the cast shadow gets any darker or lighter the closer or farther the stem curves away from the paper – gotta go set up an experiment and look for myself.

I toned the cone. It looks perfect. A little goes a long way👍 Thanks for your suggestion

Thanks for the suggestion about the shadow!

Thank you for comments and suggestions!

I took your advice and as expected it was spot on. What an improvement. But, do I add more still? I do not want to over work it. On the right is the improved version.

Aha, it is a pistil, I thought pistol seemed a bit violent! And yes, more white next time for sure, and dark sepia, but that can be layered after luckily.

On to my Indian corn piece!

It was certainly a heavy heirloom pumpkin. Hard to continue to work on a piece when the subject is no longer available. All in all I thought the suggestions improved the piece
