  • For 2 apparently simple drawings, they are both full of atmosphere, one of movement and the other , you really feel you are standing on the bridge looking over the cold lake

  • Thanks for your lovely comments! I was very suprised and pleased to have my work showcased. I wasn’t going to submit the cat drawing as I thought it would be too messy but my tutor suggested it would make a good assessment piece. I struggled with the idea of what a ‘finished’ piece of work could be throughout the course and i think I’m learning now that you can loosen up and be more expressive.

  • I agree, the ghost marks show the cats are tussling not just sleeping on one another. I particularly like the second drawing. I am tackling part three of drawing 1 and in particular I’m finding hard to get things to recede. You can really feel the mist in your drawing. It has a loverly atmospheric quality.

    • Thank you, the landscape is my favourite too. This is my third attempt though i kept having to rework it to get it right, completely rubbing out the far background and redrawing it. Good luck with rest of the course!
