    This is my contribution to Halloween and Mexico’s Day of the Dead hollidays.

    I want to take this time to thank Ali for such wonderfull and easy to follow instructions on how to draw well and enjoy the learning process at the same time.

    There are not many teachers in the world that can be so thorough and provide all of the information necessary…

      • Ja je hebt helemaal gelijk Larry ik kan ook niet geloven wat ik al heb geleerd, ik ben in November vorig jaar begonnen en als ik zie wat ik allemaal gemaakt heb , ongelooflijk…….

        Maar ook deze van jou is weer helemaal Top Larry ! 👌💕

      • Back to drawing

              • Nice set up!

                  Larry, this one made me smile.

                  First day back at the desk after a move, and the corner is already set up and waiting for you. That is what I love about artists like you. It is not the big finished piece, it is the fact that you could not wait to get back to it.

                  I love seeing motivated people like you in this community, it keeps me… Read more

                  Hi everyone. I have not been very active in the drawing community latley and i plan on being out of the loop for a while. I live on a lake in Alabama USA in the middle of a national forest and we just sold our house. We are having a house built in town which will take six months to build, so meanwhile we are moving to another house on the…

                  • Hallo Larry, Ben blij van je te horen, ik dacht misschien ben je ziek maar dat is het gelukkig niet!

                    Zelf ben ik ook niet zo actief als ik zou willen want ik heb het ook druk met andere dingen helaas, maar komt goed we komen vanzelf weer terug als de tijd daar is.

                    Voor nu heel veel succes met je nieuwe huis en laat gauw weer wat horen,…

                          Larry, I was honestly worried when you went quiet, so it is really good to see you here. We moved this month too and only finished two days ago, so I know it never really ends, something is always left to do. Moving twice in one year is no small thing, so take your time with the new house and draw whenever you can between boxes 😊

                          • good luck with the moving mate

                          • Blindfolded Woman/Patience!

                            Drawing the Blindfolded woman has been a real education. This drawing is like the final exam. It is a culmanation of all the skills and technics that i have learned from Ali’s tutorials. I think back to the lessons on how to shade, draw eyes,ears, nose, hair and proportions. It is all in this one, and then some.

                            Thank you Ali for such a…

                            • So beautiful! I think it would take years for me to get this advanced…How many of Ali’s tutorials did you complete before attempting this one?

                            This is a progress drawing of the Blindfolded Woman tutorial. I do beleive Ali should change the name of the tutorial to “Patience”.

                            I have missed seeing your wonderfull art work and reading your interesting comments.

                          • Blindfolded Woman Portrait

                            This is the outline drawing of the Blindfolded Woman Portrait. I am just getting started. As usual, Ali has done a superb job of showing how to draw this portrait.

                          • Walking Stick-revision

                            Ali gave me somegood advise on my walking stick drawing. He suggested i push the darkest values a little more in the shadows between the body segments and around the legs.

                            I did this and it certainly made quite a difference in the overall look of the drawing. I also darkened the shadows under the legs and body.

                            The Drawing on the left is the revised version.

                              Larry, this is exactly why I always encourage making small adjustments instead of changing everything at once. 😊
                              The revision has made a noticeable difference. Those darker shadows give the insect much more depth and help separate the body segments beautifully. It’s a great example of how a small value change can completely transform a… Read more

                            • HI @larry , I wrote before that It’s fascinating to see how something so tiny reveals such intricate textures when scaled up. Even more now. I’m a great fan of yours. 👏

                          • Walking stick

                            This is a drawing of a “Southern Double Striped Walking Stick”. I found one on my patio and took a few pictures of it, then enlarged the pictures and drew 1” grid over it and used it as my referance.

                            The body of the walking stick was 2” long and the body length in the drawing is 16” long. The paper I drew on is 18”x24”.

                            • This is fantastic! Insects are such fascinating subjects because of all the incredible textures and tiny details, and you’ve captured them beautifully. Enlarging such a small creature into a large drawing really lets you appreciate how amazing nature is. I actually painted a wasp spider not long ago, and working on all those intricate… Read more

                                You must have had incredible patience! Enlarging a 2-inch insect into a 16-inch drawing using the grid method is no small task. The amount of detail you’ve captured in the body segments, legs, and antennae is remarkable. It’s fascinating to see how something so tiny reveals such intricate textures when scaled up. Beautifully executed—thanks for…

                              This was very enjoyable to draw. It was nice to watch all of the little details turn a blank piece of paper into something of interest.

                                The detail in the bee’s fuzzy body is incredible, and the textures and shading give it a real sense of depth. The delicate wing veins are beautifull, and the contrast throughout the piece makes it really stand out. I like it very much.

                                Larry, this is fantastic! 😊 I completely agree. It’s amazing how all those little details gradually come together to create something so lifelike. You’ve done a wonderful job with the delicate wings, textures, and overall proportions. The bee looks great! Beautiful work, and thank you for sharing it with the community. 👏
