Finally got around to drawing the graphite landscape from last year’s TVI live sessions. I did mine on a slightly tone paper and used white charcoal to get the whites. Also changed the portion to the of the tree a touch. Overall happy with one.

God job! Love it. Can’t wait to see your next one
The grass is so enhanced by your texture in the grass, and the texture of the paper, yet somehow the water looks glassy!
I really like how you made it your own. That was a great series of lessons. So glad you shared!

I’m working on my third lesson on the “Carl the Shop Guy”. I’m working on it during my lunchtime (3 lunch breaks total so far) . I had only my 9x12 toned gray sketch book so it’s on toned gray paper with black and white charcoal pencils. I had been so scared to try it because it seemed so complicated….well it is! But I am challenging myself because I’m no Ashley!

This is one of my all time favorite lessons. I guess because it reminds me of my dad when he out in the garage. I think of it as his happy place. I too was feeling overwhelmed by the details. But by just taking your time, finishing one space and moving on, it magically comes together. You are doing great. Keep going.

He looks awesome so far. Looking forward to seeing the final, but take your time

Sonia @Meme5 This is the one after it was completed I said to myself “self I think we can do this drawing thing”. It gave me the confidence.

You are farther ahead down the confidence lane than I am. I looked for a Carl drawing thread and saw several very well done, I can’t remember whose drawings they were. Did you post yours?
It’s been months since I saw that Carl Shop Guy lesson series. Finally doing it, Carl will slowly get the rest of his focused self drawn in, although I’m a little nervous about the work bench full of tools

Hello Sonia @Meme5 yes I did post my version. That was back in May of 2023 but not part of a thread.

Hello Beth,
This is a wonderful rendering of this project. Your rendering has such a great personality. Now I am looking forward to finally finishing my version
hope to see you at the live lesson tonight.

Thanks, I ended up missing the live lesson due to evening errands, but should be back next week.
Nice job, you made the texture of the paper work really well, it really pops and has nice depth and detail. Thanks for posting.
