Lexis

Lexis, this is a FANTASTIC effort in drawing with lines and shapes!!! Holding the pencil on its side started as a challenge but you got into the zone and created some wonderful sketches! You started with clean line work for the crab and then relaxed while sketching the proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) of the puffer fish. And then... you pulled it all together for a VERY accurately drawn toucan!! Excellent job in adding lighter and darker tones on its body. Keep practicing drawing light guidelines for the shapes of things before finishing with darker outlines. :-)
