Wonderful, large-scale drawing of the agave plant!!! You kept very accurate proportions while having fun with the super-soft graphite lead. Great how you loosened up and got expressive with tones and pencil strokes. EXCELLENT start with the white pencil on gray paper. Gonna finish? And your Van Gogh sketch is off to an awesome start with exploring 'sketchiness'!!!

Straight up, you've got a keen eye for proportions and hand for exquisite line work!!! Excellent use of positive/negative space to draw the contour edges of the egret and contrasts in the details of the feathers. The proportions of the dragonfly (in both your smaller and large-scale version) are very well drawn. Your accuracy improved dramatically from the drawings of the lizard, toucan, and jaguar to the realism of the egret. Keep drawing, Rebecca!

You just keep on blazing new trails, man!! As you got into the Van Gogh sketch, I saw you loosen your pencil strokes as your lines became freer and much more expressive. I really like how you used all kinds of different line patterns to indicate form and textures. You nailed the perspective of the buildings, wall, and road. You may want to consider carrying a sketchbook with you. I know the white pencil was a challenge for you, but you got an excellent start!
