I found the exercise so helpful. The use of negative space and relativity really helped improve the proportions as did the mark makings and shading. I think it will be a useful tool to do quick gesture drawing but then come back and refine. And to give myself the permission to erase and improve upon first sketches. -
Mark making techniques help provide depth to this plant. I was struggling with that. I’ve been returning to this plant to record growth as I am working through this course. Both the continued practice and learning the skills have made a positive impact and I feel like I am improving. It helps that the amaryllis is quick growing so I see change easily. I like incorporating notes along with my drawings which I haven’t done in the past. The notes make recalling details easy and I am becoming more observant when I can note down what I see and feel.
