        Weekly Drawing Thread Feb 20 ~ Feb 27

        Welcome to the weekly drawing thread! Each week a new thread with a reference and suggestions for that reference will be posted for anyone to draw and post their results throughout the week. You may follow the weekly suggestion which is a loose guideline to try or draw and experiment on your own around this week’s subject and post your results.

        Some people look on it as a challenge… but that’s the great thing about these ‘challenges’ – they aren’t against any other artists…the challenges is to you to do YOUR best against yourself! So it doesn’t matter what other people do, as long as you do your best!! Better still – if you do it consistently, so that no matter what is thrown at you, you attempt it…that’s the real challenge!

        The goal of this thread is open-ended. This means you decide what it is you want out of the weekly challenge. Do you want to do a sketch or do you want to become more proficient at drawing, or do you wish to break into other dry mediums or even mix the mediums? It is entirely up to you as the artist. You know your own strengths and weaknesses and you can find them in each reference we are faced with. Practice is where it’s at, just think of this thread as your personal motivator.

        Any level of drawing is encouraged to join in!!!

        Different mediums are fine as long as we post preliminary drawings, sketches, and “under-drawing” of the painting, so the discussion on the thread stays relevant…and be sure to post the final painting for comparison of your drawing. Good drawing skills are crucial to the final product of a painting and we would need to see how you got there!

        We accept submissions for reference photos. Feel free to PM reference photos or links to Lady Carol, arnoud3272, SparrowHawk7, Luicre, ArtsyBren or michaeleric. We recommend images out of the image library that you would like to see here or upload your own photos…but be sure to keep in mind of photo quality and choice of reference. We put all submissions in order of their arrival in our PM Inboxes. If you have questions regarding this, feel free to PM one of us.


        This week I have got three images of reference. I would like to suggest you to work with values.

        Black an white:

        Drawing eggs is a great exercise about learning values and value`s gradation.

        Next is Jayne by Yorky. I have cropped the image and below you have the link to a larger one.

        Hope you enjoy !!!

                            Good work, Isabelle. I really like the sanguine, it shows that Boggie`s character.

                                    Hi, sorry, this started out as a pencil caricature, then I hit it
                                    with my “waterproof” Faber-Castell PITT artist pen, and then,
                                    to test the waterproof part, i hit it with some water color pencils,
                                    and then, some water. So anywho, I figured even though i got
                                    super off track, I’d post it anyway since the thread was the
                                    inspiration. And it even vaguely resembles mr. bogart. Haha.

                                    Thanks for looking!

                                    Best Regards

                                        Hi folks, I’ve been having a great deal of fun with pen portraits lately. Though this one (Jayne by Yorky) almost drove me mad with all the cross hatching. I think I made her look a bit older than she is in the picture, but it still turned out a lot better than I thought it would!
