May 12: Reflective Surfaces


Reflective Surfaces

Welcome to This Week's Drawing Challenge!

This week, we're focusing on highlights and reflective surfaces. Each day, you'll have a new prompt to inspire your drawings. Here's how to participate:

  1. Read the Prompt: Each day, check the prompt for the object or scene you'll be drawing.
  2. Observe Closely: Take a moment to observe the object or scene and notice how light interacts with it- or use a reference photo!
  3. Start Drawing: Grab your drawing materials and begin sketching! Pay close attention to the highlights and reflections.
  4. Share Your Work: Once you've finished your drawing, share it with the group or through the assignment portal for feedback and encouragement.

Get ready to explore the world of highlights and reflections through your drawings. Let's get started!

Remember: COMMAND light and shadow and your work vibrates with life!!!

This week on TWITCH we will look atvshading and highlighting.
Without further ado - our daily challenges for this week :-)

This week 5/12-5/17- one sketch a day::

  1. Glass Bottle: Draw a glass bottle, noticing how it reflects light and surrounding objects through its transparent surface.

A new month a new focus! Phew! We did it!!! The good news is that we managed a full month of perspective, compositions, buildings and people and cars...oh my!!!

The true beauty of every crayon is not found in the trappings of appearance, but in being set free to do what it was created to do. Join me on a journey through five creative prompts that will have you looking at your brokenness in a whole new way. No experience required! *Over seven hours of “How-To” videos included!...
