I find both versions very nice. Sveta's is more strengthful and has more character. Ken's is more subtle and he has rendered the sand and the sea very delicate.
Congratulations to you both.

Bravos, you all draw beautifully!

I tried the statue with 2B and 4B graphite.

Decided to give the bird a try with cp. Batteries are dead in the camera so I am just scanning this one.

Here's is my final contibution to this week's challenge.
Another piece with the pastel chalk.
It took approx 1 hour. I'm happy with the outcome and look forward to doing some more sunset drawings.

Ken, thanks for hosting this week's challenge. It is the very first time that I participate actively, and I was very fun.
See you around.

I really didn't have a lot of time this week. I spent a couple hours on this. I think I could have done better. I'm starting to like color pencil more and more.

What do folks think?

This was done very well. I like the way you incorporated color.

I know I'm late, but I started this one before the deadline.

Seems the beach scene was popular so here's my version.

I always seem to get too caught up in the details, so I was making an attempt to stay away from too many, and capture the idea or the moment more than every little detail.

Hey Jazz, That's great. It was really cool seeing the different outcomes on this photo. They we're all wonderful. Thanks again to all that participated in the challenge! Ken
