My own interpretation of assignment 28.
I spent yesterday afternoon and most of the night pushing the contrast a bit further. Here’s the result. I hope you like it! As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

I’m not very good at giving feedback but they both look great. It does look better with higher contrast

Your lines are so clean and flawless that one can’t find a single thing to criticize. It’s impossible not to admire your work 👏🏻👏🏻

My own interpretation of assignment 28.
My last drawing before heading to the hospital on Friday. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to create a drawing based on a reference photo, and it was @fjienarta who inspired me with the idea for this final drawing. So here it is!
Although there’s always room for improvement. I suppose @alihaiderrehman will tell me that I could have pushed…

It’s so realistic

Very well done Frederic. I think you are right about what Ali would say regarding pushing the darker values a little further.
I am looking forward to you being back on line soon.

My avocado drawing.
Here is my avocado drawing! I’m off angle, and as a result, I got stuck with the cast shadow. Maybe I was a little lazy as well. I also didn’t render the background avocado as well as I could have, and I missed a few details.Overall, I’m not sure if it comes close enough to the reference, but every drawing is another learning experience and a…

Hi Frederic
First of all, I hope you have a fast recovery from your back surgery. Your avocados really looks close to the reference. My guess is that if you drew it again it would be perfect.😊
1 -
It looks pretty close to the reference. I think adding the shadows will make it even better.
Hope your surgery goes well, I’m going to miss your drawings…
2 -
I think you’re being a bit too hard on yourself. The avocado looks very convincing, especially the texture of the skin and the subtle color transitions. The seed also has a beautiful, natural shine. Yes, there are always little things we’d improve if we started over, but that’s true of every drawing. I think you did a great job. Well done!
1 -
very good a reference is what it is a reference who said it has to be the same and i also think if you put some shadow in would be floorless oh and good luck with surgery hope all goes well

Looks pretty convincing to me. Best wishes and a quick recovery from your back surgery.

Finnaly The lantern Drawing
I finally finished the lantern drawing! It has been one of the most challenging drawings I’ve tackled so far, alongside the colored pencil avocado. I’m really glad it’s finished.
I don’t know if I should be proud of the final result, but I do know that I don’t want to start over again. 😄
More importantly, I learned a lot throughout the process,…

Reply to @Tony post. I get an error replying to your comment.
@Tony maybe the original post page limits the size and resolution of the photos? And when you click on them to zoom in you see them with original resolution. Many sites work that way. So I don’t think you’re crap at taking photos. The only one that can answer this question or limitation is @alihaiderrehman

wow

Thanks for bringing this up, Frederic!
The issue has now been resolved. Please check your inbox when you have a moment. If you’re still experiencing any problems, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help. 👍1

Realistic glass drawing 5 months ago and Today.
While taking a break from my lantern drawing, I decided to try the glass tutorial again to see how much I’ve improved over the last five months. To be honest, I didn’t spend much time on the glass because I’m a bit short on time right now. The lantern is driving me crazy! I posted a sketch of it a while ago, but I ended up starting from scratch.

It’s so real! Very good drawing!

Its so encouraging to see the improvement. Although your first attempt didn’t look bad, your recent one looks really real. Makes me hopeful for my own drawing journey as well.

Well done Frederic. This is a great illistration of how drawing an exercise a second time, shows how much your skills have improved. 😊

Major growth in your skills!

Fixative Spray for pencil drawings ?
Can somebody in the community enlighten me on the best fixative spray for graphite pencil drawings? Thanks in advance for your valuable feedback.
-
I’m using this now, not sure if its the best but it’s cheap (compared to other fixative) and feels like it would last forever. The shop review is good. But I’m not sure if its available in other countries. It seems to be an Australian brand.

Hi Frederic
Ali mentioned in a post not to long ago that you could use spray lacquer as a fixative spray which would be less costly than the fixative you would purchase in an art supply store.

I personally use Winsor & Newton Professional Fixative, and I’ve had good results with it. Whatever fixative you choose, the most important thing is to apply 2 to 3 very light coats from about 30 cm (12 inches) away, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Heavy coats can darken the graphite and reduce contrast. I’m also… Read more

I’ve tried quite a few options over the years. At first, I used a clear acrylic spray from a hardware store. It worked well for a while, but later it started spitting droplets, which isn’t something you want on a finished drawing. Then I bought a proper artist’s fixative from an art supply store. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly… Read more
