Weathered wishes, a set of 3 book mark like stripes of art. Left a set of colored bowls. Middle a set of flags. Right a pretty feather.
Lesson Twelve - Weathered Wishes
Had a lot of fun for this one. Narrow vertical canvases are always a fun change of pace, and these feel like they can make for neat bookmarks. I dunno if the graphite would wear off tho.

Lesson 11 - Sky|Water|Earth
I got some good practice in with blending colored pencils in which I never felt confident with. I think for future projects I’ll keep a scrap of paper to test blending outcomes.
Color first line after is an interesting technique.
#drawingisforeveryone
The word “Vibe” with various interiors and surrounded by rainbow lines. #traditionalart
Just finished this wordplay from #DrawingIsforEveryone!
I was debating for the rainbow borders if i wanted to stay solid or split off but committed and I think it looks cool!
A collage
Lesson Seven - Pocket Treasure College
The drawing of patterns took so much longer than the drawing of items, i didn’t really enjoy that part.
I think I definitely improved on the drawing aspect with the new pencils and I did enjoy working ahead with colored pencils.
#drawingisforeveryone
Drawing is for everyone lesson 10 word play, the word peace on brown craft paper
Lesson Ten: Word Play (Peace)
This one was a bit frustrating but I worked through it.
I tried to not overplan and stuff but it backfired. First time using craft paper too, which is interesting. Seems easier to work with than construction paper.

Drawing is for everyone lesson nine, an attempt to use colored pencils to replicate a van goh style moon.
Lesson Nine‘s final part about trying to duplicate this drawing using our techniques and brushes. I think I had a good start but I was a bit… “too neat”, need to be more random and free!
#DrawingIsForEveryone #traditionalart
Drawing is for everyone lesson nine. Practice with colored pencils. Top feature diagonal gem like clouds. Below are curved rainbow bands. #artchallenge
#DrawingIsForEveryone Lesson Nine
Being a little creative, calling this one sapphire gems and rainbow showers.
Trying out posting these directly instead of as a comment, to see if it’s more visible and if it stays organized!
#TraditionalArt
A traditional drawing of a rain shower under grey clouds.
Lesson Nine: Rain Showers and Swirling Winds
I enjoyed the contrast in textures, but hitting another limit in the smoothness and consistency of lines.
Also the inconsistent sharpness and quality of the lines are more noticeable in the photo. I need to resharpen mid.

Drawing is for everyone lesson 8 colorful swatches. A bunch of overlapping squares made with colored pencils in the colors of the rainbow.
Drawing is for everyone lesson 8 colorful swatches. A bunch of overlapping squares made with colored pencils in the primary colors of red blue and yellow.
#DrawingIsForEveryone Lesson 8: A Swatch of Colors.
Lesson 7 was taking too long to wrap up so I skipped ahead to Lesson 8, so I can get started playing with colored pencils!
There’s quite a bit of difference in how much color my crayolas deposit compared to my artist pencils.
Drawing is for everyone with new pencils lesson one. Showing the scale of different scale of pencils.
Took a side quest on #drawingisforeveryone to experiment with my new soft pencils. Didn’t realize until after that this set didn’t include any H’s lol.
Not sure how to use the charcoal sticks but having fun with the new B’s!
Lesson Six - Leaves and Direction of Form (Examples)
I think the examples and tests really let me flex the importance of direction especially in using pencils, blending, and contrast. Tomorrow I’ll do a few more from reference.
#DrawingIsForEveryone
Drawing is for everyone lesson 4. Image of a rock in an art book vs a pencil drawing in a notebook. #artchallenge
Lesson Five: To Draw A Stone
Today’s lessons focus is about drawing roundness, capturing texture, using erasing to remove graphite, and layering effects.
Still need more practice but I won’t stay here forever. I think I’ll draw a couple rocks of my own tomorrow.
#DrawingIsForEveryone
Traditional drawining of some lettuce leaves.
Lesson Four: The Seeing and Drawing Practice (Lettuce Page)
Drew a few of the other sample leaves.
Next lesson... get to draw a rock. Let's roll.
#DrawingIsForEveryone
Two drawings of a lettuce leaf in pencil, in the drawing is for everyone set. #tradtionalart #challengeart
Lesson Four: The Seeing and Drawing Practice (First Lettuce)
This practice is basically a visual drawing exercise. This took like an hour lol... might be a bit distracted.
Ontop of my HB and mechanical pencil, I added a black colored pencil to cover the darker shadows.
#DrawingIsForEveryone
Drawing is for everyone, lesson two, let’s make marks, the creative work. A leaf like shape is on the left, pebbles on the bottom and bark like shapes on top. In the center are ripples of water.
Lesson Two: Let’s Make Marks (Creative)
Alright, definitely gonna take blending stick and erasing techniques forward.
#DrawingIsForEveryone #ChallengeArt #TraditionalArt
Part 1 of Drawing is For Everyone Lesson Two. Showcasing 4 boxes with different patterns. Box 1 has curved lines with smudged in curves. Box 2 has broken lines with smaller broken lines in between. Box 3 has a bunch of circles and ovals, some of which are smudged in. Box 4 has a leaf like texture, with circles erased into the fine lines.
Lesson Two: Let's Make Marks (Practice Page)
This lesson starts with some practice with blending sticks/tortillons and making different patterns. I didn't quite get to the quality of the examples. Looking forward to combining these tomorrow!
#ChallengeArt #TraditionalArt #DrawingIsForEveryone
Lesson Two of #DrawingIsForEveryone involves a blending stump. After learning that it's just paper (and a tortillon is rolled up paper) I'm going to follow the guide below to try to make my own tomorrow!

Art Study of Lesson One, from Drawing is for Everyone. First is a column of #2 Pencil, using additive layers. Second is a column with mechanical pencil, using layers. Third is an attempt to use a value scale, but it alternates.
Lesson One: The Touch of a Feather
The lesson normally calls for a variety of artist pencils, but I've always just used a mechanical pencil and a #2. So I modified the lesson a bit but I felt I followed the spirit of the intent!
#ChallengeArt #TraditionalArt #DrawingIsForEveryone
So, I'm going to start drawing from a book called "Drawing is for Everyone, by Kateri Ewing", posting my work/progress, and observations. I'm probably going to do this daily, but not going to force myself.
