Ernie

Your drawing of the plant makes for a great composition, Ernie!! The contour lines showing the edges of the leaves look very natural. How you overlapped the leaves and added gray tones gives realistic depth to your drawing. Nice job on drawing accurate proportions of the agave plant. The proportions of the dog are also well drawn! The contour lines realistically show the folds of the ears and positioning of the facial features.

Tasha

Your style of sketching realistically is progressing beautifully, Tasha!! You got right into loosely sketching contour lines for the form of the leaves. By keeping your guidelines light you were able to easily draw on top of your mistakes; then you drew darker contour lines for shapes that looked accurate to you. The overall proportions of the plant are very well drawn. All of your lines work together to make a wonderful composition!

Raul

The artist inside of you is really showing in these drawings, Raul!!! The way you loosened up and let your pencil fly all over the page created an artistic composition of the agave plant. Your expressive lines capture accurate proportions of the leaves. Nice job of adding gray tones to show the different values of green in the leaves. And you did an excellent job of drawing the contour lines forming the dog. Nice work in positioning the facial features and folds of the ears. Really cool contour lines forming the bird, too! Keep it going, man!

Marlene

Welcome to Success Sketchers, Marlene!! Wonderful start in drawing the contour edges that form the egret and the toucan! Overall you did a nice job of drawing accurate proportions of the birds' bodies, especially the 's' curve in the egret's neck and the beak of the toucan. Your line work shows a lot of control in all your drawings. Great job of getting all the details into your drawing of the dog! Overall, the proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) are drawn accurately. The facial features are drawn well, especially the positioning of the eyes.

Jesus

Very cool drawing, Jesus!!! Excellent job of drawing the contour edges forming the egret's head and body. The 's' curve in its neck is accurately drawn. I REALLY like how you drew the details for the beak and eye--very natural looking features. The pattern for the feathers are a nice touch that adds interest to your composition. You're gaining more control of your line work... keep practicing sketching light guidelines before drawing darker contour lines to finish.

Gustavo

Excellent start in drawing the dog, Gustavo!!! The overall proportions are drawn very well, especially the realistic folds of the ears! The contour edges are drawn accurately and you did a great job of positioning the eye. It would be really cool if you could finish this one. Hope you get back into drawing again, soon!

Damian

Welcome to Success Academy, Damian!! You got it all going with a fantastic sketch of the agave plant! I really like how you sketched loosely and quickly while keeping accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) of the leaves. The contrast between lighter and darker tones make your composition very interesting to look at. Keep working on sketching light guidelines for accurate proportions then drawing darker contour edges to finish. Keep drawing!
