Learning to draw, Chapter Eleven

jackie.jpg

Jackie is very experienced in  graphite and may be one of the most careful of all my students. She has been known to erase and redo entire areas over and over. Because she has a light touch, this doesn’t destroy the tooth of the paper. She works from her own photos, and occasionally from borrowed photos but generally redesigns them (wish you could see her rocks/leaves/water drawing!). In this drawing, she has changed the colors,  and edited out weird parts that don’t make sense. Weird things are believable in photos, but in drawings they look as if the artist messed up.

  1. I love that you posted your students art. It was fun to send a copy to Mom’s grandson in Portland, OR. This is a beautiful blog. Keep having fun.
