Sketching is an action word, and you can only learn this skill by actually sketching. To give you a feel for the sketching process, numerous illustrations and simple text take you step-by -step through the process of rendering a sketch from one of my sketches (much easier than working from an actual scene).

Preview lesson F10 - Serene Scene

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND [HELP=Arial Black]

I got to quit my job and start sketching It`s fun and my island lokks good

Is it like a storm?

Yeah...did u use the 4B pencil?

or something else..Um...I don't know... lol

I did F10 and it was Ok, but I love the colored pencils best. Cotton

I found this an enjoyable but difficult lesson. It's made me realize how far I still have to go in judging proportions and in getting my hatching to look good.

I have found the previous shading and hatching lessons challenging and somewhat tedious (sorry!). However, I really enjoyed this lesson, and found it much easier because of the previous lessons. My serene scene is not perfect by any means, but is not a bad replica for a beginner. I couldn't have done it as well without the previous lessons. Great lesson, thanks Brenda!

I liked it, it was kinda hard to do but it lookes good and i have it on my fridge =)

I LOVE ZELDA
.......
um oh ya...
i find it hard to get my hatching lines to line up and they r not straight.

I absolutely LOVE all these lessons and this one was so good too
Here is mine

I really enjoyed this lesson. I have done this drawing on canvas and ive added to it also put some colour into it. im finding these lesson so helpful.Im very pleased i found this site.

This is one of my favorites. After I drew it in pencils, I redrew it in pastels. Not perfect, but pretty

[size=4]i really liked your "serene scene".. i tryed drawing it by looking at the lessons..it was easier for me to do it step by step..this picture is really nice

great tips, good lesson

I didn't do well with the tree leaves but the rest of the drawing was ok.

Thanks for your leson.And mine.

This was my serene scene. Lovely lesson.

I loved!

Thanks!!

Heres what I ended up with, decided to try something different, and did the entire drawing using only dots and a mechanical pencil

I loved this lesson! I just keep learning and learning on this site!

This is mine. I looked at my coconut tree outside to draw the tree in this lesson.

I should try to see a real palm tree in my life or something. I hurried a bit in that part, as I dunno, but it came out...like a spider on a stick. Oh well!

I will probably be redoing this upon further examination of a palm tree! xD

I redid the palm tree one, and also included the Tulip lesson here, as I didn't see a thread for it, sadly. Sorry they're so big. I dunno how to work the camera well.

Thanks for the lesson

Did this one pretty fast. Not extatic about the result.
