Aris

Astounding! Drawing! Aris!! You progressed rapidly through the drawings of the frog, tiger, and jaguar while keeping accurate proportions and improving the control of your line work. You worked your way through the challenges of 2-point perspective with accurately angled guidelines and 3D buildings. Then you really got into the zone while drawing VERY accurate proportions of the dragonfly's body and wings. Excellent job of drawing realistic contour lines of its legs and transparent wings. And then.... the egret! You focused on the positive/negative spaces of the reference photo to get natural looking contour edges of the bird's head and body. I really like how you made several study sketches until you found accurate proportions; then finished with darker contour lines. Keep looking for where the positive and negative space meets to draw the contour edges of things, such as the 's' turn of the egret's neck.

Eduardo

You got into some awesome drawing with the 2-point perspective lesson!!! Excellent job in drawing accurate angled guidelines to the vanishing points, making your buildings look 3D. Fantastic work in capturing really accurate proportions of the tiger's face! Nice detail work in the facial features and the gray shading. Compare your drawing of the tiger's face to the reference picture. Is the space between the eyes accurate? Keep drawing, Eduardo!

Jose

Jose, the control of your line work has improved, big-time!!! You did an excellent job of keeping accurate proportions of the tiger's face as you drew it really large. And you kept the sizes of features on both sides of the face balanced, symmetrical. Compare your drawing of the tiger to the reference picture. Is the space between the eyes accurately drawn? Great work in drawing the patterns for the textures on the lizard. And you did a really nice job of including all the details for its facial features. Keep practicing drawing light guidelines for the shapes of things before drawing darker outlines.

Pedro

I really like where your imagination went with this 2-point perspective lesson, especially your usage of textured patterns on the wall of the tower and building. The design of the ink patterns is really cool, Pedro! I'd like to see you explore this kind of ink (or pencil) pattern treatment on a larger sized drawing. Maybe take time to create an intricate design that twists and turns around images of people.

Bryan

Welcome to Salinas Sketchers, Bryan!!! Your drawing took off right away with accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) of the animals and the monster truck! It's really great how you did several sketches of the crab to get used to holding your pencil on its side while drawing. As you progressed, your drawings became more accurate. Excellent job of drawing the overall proportions of the toucan. Compare your drawing of the toucan to the reference picture. Which of your two drawings shows a more accurate size of the bird's head compared to its body? Keep sketching light guidelines for the shapes of things before finishing with darker outlines.

Lizette

EXCELLENT 2-point drawing, Lizette!!! You started gaining more control of the angled guidelines as you progressed through the lesson. The angles of your buildings are accurately drawn in relation to the vanishing points on the horizon line. Great job of keeping the vertical lines of the buildings parallel and the angles of the tops and bottoms of the windows correctly drawn. Hope to see you back in class for more drawing! :-)

Carlos

Great effort at getting into drawing with ink, Carlos!!! You started off with accurate pencil guidelines of the buildings and car. Great job of drawing the angles of the open windows on the bank. Check the angles of the windshield and grille of the car to make sure that the guidelines were drawn to the left vanishing point. I think it would be great for you to explore more pen techniques in the future.
