Seven Sixteen O'Eight

Sketch of a more 'abstract' hand from yesterday's class:

For this next drawing we took photos from the NYTimes, and, rather than drawing the image directly, turned the photo upside-down. It helps the artist draw tones and shapes rather than drawing assumptions.

does the teacher ever comment on the pieces. I'd be interested to hear what she has to say -- critique or complement if you don't mind...

Since the class is really for very beginners the teacher doesn't critique much. But YOU can :)
