    Not very happy with the can lid but I have tried to fix so many times. It looks ok overall
    Pencils: Mars Lumograph black 100B – quite scratchy and noisy, but feels nice to draw with
    Paper: cheap paper from homeware store (160gsm but feels a bit rough, hard to erase. Erasing picks up the paper materials)

              Cheryl, I think this turned out really well!
              Crushed cans are surprisingly challenging because every reflection changes with each dent, but you’ve captured the metallic look beautifully. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The reflections, contrast, and overall form all work very well together.
              And thank you for sharing your thoughts on the paper… Read more

                Great work, Frenky! Your perspective is looking solid, and I can already see your confidence growing with each exercise. Keep it up. These fundamentals will make every future drawing easier.

              Graphite and pastel chalk mixed-media artwork. The circular patterns were created using stencils: highlights were lifted from the dark areas with an eraser, while graphite was brushed onto the lighter sections. The colored tones were built up from finely scraped pastel dust applied with a brush.

              Wow

                    Edit, this is such a powerful piece. 😊 The emotion comes through immediately, and I really like how you’ve combined graphite with pastel to create something unique. The circular patterns add a strong sense of movement without distracting from the expression, and your explanation of the process is just as interesting as the… Read more

                              Samar, this is a beautiful portrait! 😊 You should be really proud of this one. The likeness is strong, the hair flows naturally, and the soft shading gives the portrait a warm, lifelike feel. I’m sure it will make a wonderful gift.
                              Fantastic work, and thank you for sharing it with the community! 💙

                                • It will get better with practice but i see a lot of beautiful white hair in your drawing , looking natural and realistic, specially in the face it’s really good

                                  • It looks nice. I’d say just practice. My eraser skill is still not perfect but learning more each time I do a tutorial. Could you describe the exact problem. Why is it “hard to control”? I find it hard in the beginning and I find I have to hold it with a bit of force to make it steady compared to non electric like mono zero type

                                  • Hi Ashok, your cat drawing looks very good. My advice on learning to get good results with the elect eraser and also the mono zero eraser is practice, practice, practice.

                                    Brush some graphite powder onto a blank sheet of drawing paper and start practicing. You can use the flat sharp edge to make very fine lines or you can sharpen the eraser to…

                                    Hi Ashok! First of all, your cat is looking really nice. The soft fur and gentle shading give it a lovely appearance. I do think the overall drawing is a little light, so don’t be afraid to push the darker values a bit more to increase the contrast.
                                    As for the electric eraser, don’t worry. It takes a bit of practice to control. Try holding… Read more

                                  Ik heb deze hond getekend om te oefenen aangezien ik de onze goed op papier wil hebben.
                                  Wij hebben de onze 13 jaar bij ons gehad maar helaas is hij vorige week overleden, we missen hem hèèl erg, dus zijn tekening komt er zeker, gelukkig hebben we genoeg mooie foto’s van hem 🙏🏼😢💕

                                  • I am so sorry for your loss. He looks like such a beautiful dog. This is a wonderful drawing. Maybe drawing him again could assist in the grieving process. I wish you all the best in this process of grief. I love my animals also. They are part of the family. 🐶❤️

Ook al is deze zeer geslaagd. I vind hem schattig………in blijde afwachting van een tekening van jouw hond. 😉

                                  Drawing inspiration from Ali’s youtube videos, here is my attempt at a charcoal sketch of one of his reference images.

                                  Looking forward to do more artwork and improve on my skills 🙂

                                  Please let me know your thoughts
