Day 2: Walk the Line
This challenge tripped a lot of people up. The instructions were to tone your paper dark, then erase “to leave dark lines.” What I was looking for was interesting dark lines, with erased space surrounding them. Only a few artists met the challenge as written. Well done, teacher’s pets!
The rest of you used a slightly different drawing style, but you made great work. Here is a small selection of beautiful chiaroscuro artworks, using the “lift up” technique with charcoal and eraser or similar materials.
Diagonals comes up a lot when I teach figure drawing, portraits, and general composition for anything at all. I believe we have a safety part in our brain that feels better when lines are level (vertical or horizontal, not diagonal). The destabilizing tilts and angles take a lot more effort for us to draw, so it’s no big surprise that the most daringly diagonal drawings involved some drama!

Day 3: Daringly Diagonal
Diagonals comes up a lot when I teach figure drawing, portraits, and general composition for anything at all.

These weren’t exactly daring diagonals, but I thought they were very nicely drawn diagonals.
