Edgar

You missed our first week, but certainly made up for it with some really fine work, Edgar!!! I can see a really cool drawing style emerging from of your excellent line work. After getting control of holding the pencil on its side, you nailed down accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) of the lizard and toucan. You did a nice job of including details such as the texture of the lizard's skin and its facial features. The light and dark tones on the bird are a really nice touch, too. And you threw together a wonderful large-format composition, too! Keep practicing sketching light guidelines for the shapes of things; then finishing with darker outlines.
