Hi @stan, just want to say thank you for illuminating so many basic concepts that have a surprising impact on my drawing. I learn so much from your demos! Asking us to be mindful of symmetry/asymmetry and the notions of "pushing" and "supporting" a gesture have been transformative for me. I can already feel that I am much more thoughtful in my line and shape choices. Also, I pushed myself to draw these with my whole arm, which I never thought I could do, but it is liberating. Thanks again for being such a great teacher!

After W. W. Denslow from the wizard of oz illustrations. I think his drawings are so fun and whimsical. Proportions are a bit off I can see but hopefully I’m on the right track with the line weights.

I have a question on the assignment. I'm I suppose to go more in the direction of Gestural drawing? I feel like this is the aim for this assignment. Don't worry about details get the energy. That's what I'm getting, correct? I just see a lot of people going into details.

Simplifying is challenging! This assignment forced me to think more deeply about distinguishing values with restraint, so thank you for that. P.S. Oops I picked a sketchbook that was too small and cut off the shadow, my bad.
