@kayleenartlover hi kayleen! this is just me but maybe you simplify this piece more and remove a few of the kids?

@Griffin If the assignment is composition and value try to find drawings "coloured in" not just line-based. I think if you find some really nice compositions in line work then use them for the composition part only. I suppose once you find work whether paintings or drawings and do the value study part, you could try and place what you learn value wise to the line drawing compositions to experiment. If you don't want to do that much work I'd stick to the homework more closely. I am sure you could find other line based work that has more values -graphic novels etc.

I very much enjoyed this class though I never completed it and struggled to apply it to my own work. I look forward to returning to it in the future.

@Ashton-H Aw, this took me by surprise! Thank you, and it's equally inspiring to me that you're working on your own self-published art books. Keep going! 🌻

While awaiting Discord Group for CED -took a digital stab at the first workbook exercise. However Photoshop is tad bothering me and won't allow my hard brush to remain off on Transfer Pen Pressure, i.e reason for my black mark making is not solid.

Anyways looking SUPER forward to CED Group.

Thanks you guys, I'll be sure to check out his classes straightaway!
The thing that daunts me a bit is that I'll have to start coming up with my own landscapes soon... sure, using reference is always a thing, but. I dunno. It's hard to explain.

@Leontine I really like this. Is it digital or traditional, I can't tell off the screen. Very cold.
