Foodies!

Well, if you live in the US, you're getting ready to feast on Thursday. So this week's assignment is to draw food. You can opt to draw just one dish, or a mouth-watering table full of tasty dishes. If you're not in the US, draw or sketch a food closely associated with your region. If you don't eat meat, select a vegetarian dish that you enjoy. Personally, food is not the easiest thing for me to draw to my satisfaction, but I'll probably give a pie a go.

to Honor France

There are no words to express the sorrow felt by the world at the senseless violence in Paris. This week, draw something of France. Their flag, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, a bottle of French wine ...

Less is more

This week's assignment is to create a simple drawing. Without using shading or even lots of detail, draw something - anything - but make it realistic. For example, don't draw a symmetrical apple. Make sure that its shape is one that would realistically occur in nature.

Pencils Only

This week's assignment was inspired by my attempts to draw this picture taken at the beach. Using a pencil only, try to draw the crashing wave. Using only a regular pencil may present challenges that would have been easily met with color.
