Draw on That—Day Two: Different Ducks, Different Dogs

Day two of the new "Draw on That" class and we are having a great time! Like my younger class, we started with a quick duplication drawing exercise to warm up then on to our challenge.

The students were asked to use the techniques last weeks to draw some new things. We started with the duck candle. Again, here is my drawing example that I first showed to the students—

Together we blocked in the basic shapes with our light coloured markers. After the light colours, we went over our drawing with darker colours to show the lines we wanted to keep and to add some detail.

These more advanced students were also challenged to look at the shadows in the duck and to see if they could add them with their markers. Check it out!—

Next came the dog challenge. We followed the process again by breaking down each drawing into basic shapes then outlining with darker markers later. Here again is my initial example to show the students—

Below is the work by our students. There is a lovely level of detail and I am impressed by the willingness for some students to experiment with different techniques.

This lovely last example is a fun and creative rendering by my new assistant. Love that fur and shading!
