This drawing was fun.
This drawing was fun to do, but challenging.
Scott- I always take away more than one great insight from your class.
I really enjoyed this, Scott! I will go back and post other drawings on the other classes, now that I have figured out how!!
Thanks,

I’m really enjoying your drawing shows. This is the first one I’ve come close to finishing. Thanks.
Tried my new derwent pencils and it takes a lot to get them to transfer to the paper maybe this Canson XL paper is not smooth enough. But this was fun.
Scott, I enjoy these classes so much. They are a highlight in a very tough year. You are a patient and talented instructor!
Thank you!
Challenging but so much fun! I didn’t trace it, did it from scratch. Loved it! Thank you, Scott 🙂
Hi Steve, it was a joy to make today’s drawing. Here is mine. Done using Derwent Graphite pencils, size 9×12. Urszula

Another wonderful session Scott. Thank you. Very surprised at how we could get so much done as portraits are at the top of the difficulty stage. But you made this fun and relaxing for us, although you were in the limelight for us. It is much appreciated that you do this.
