Portrait Drawing Critique

Drawing by Ann Marie

Hi,

Can you critique my drawing of a statue? This is the best portrait drawing I have done so far, thanks to the Drawing Academy videos. Before I enrolled in this course, I would never draw portraits, it was too hard. This course make drawing portraits a lot easier.

Still life drawing by Debora, Drawing Academy student

Currently I am working on drawings of geometrical objects. I would like to ask for your suggestions, for I want to improve my skills and technique. These are still life compositions made from life, the same objects from different angles. The first one is a linear drawing of the objects and their reflections on a shiny surface, with a window behind and above. The other drawing is rendered, the lamp was set left and above the objects.

Drawings and questions from Jeff, Drawing Academy student

I continue to attend figure drawing sessions from time to time. Recently, I did these two drawings in blue Prismacolor Premier colored pencil. Each drawing was based on a single 20-minute pose.

I am interested in any feedback you have for me.
