Grades are posted for my first Intermediate Drawing project.
I got 95/100 points, so I can't complain.
I DO have the option to rework my drawings and resubmit for a higher grade, but the one area I got less than Outstanding in is the one area I can't revise
I think I'll stick with my 95/100 😅

A Day in the Life of a Fine Artist:
When you want to work on your drawing (which is due in 4 days), but you're afraid to work on it, because you aren't confident in how you are going to render certain areas, and you don't want to risk ruining the drawing and having to start all over from scratch...

I have to darken some darks and re-whiten some whites (i'll do that on Tuesday in class), but otherwise this drawing is DONE!

Aside from the background, which I have to fill in tomorrow in class, I'm calling this drawing DONE!

Progress on my drawing, as of right now. I still need to finish the tinfoil, wooden skewer, and wire legs.
The background is going to need some tweaking. Fingerprints and such. Still trying to figure out how much of the background to gray out...

More progress on my drawing.
The head is done, as are the hands. I have to render the paper towel on the arms and collar, and the sponge on the torso.
After that, I have to do the skirt, which is a cupcake wrapper and some tinfoil. My Mars Lumograph Black Carbon pencils will be good for that.

Any tips on how to fix the shading on this?
I was trying to establish the background color on this graphite drawing. I tried using just a jumbo graphite crayon and a chamois, and applying graphite powder with pastel brushes. Neither seems to work well.
Is this savable, or should I restart it?

Did my first art project of 2025. I haven't used colored pencils before, so I followed along with a tutorial on YouTube. Not perfect, but good enough for a first attempt.
