I am so excited looking back over their work since July this year. Seems like we've been here longer than that, they have both achieved so much. Rachel is off and running with her portraits from photographs now and who knows where Ryan will get to. It has opened up options and ability that I really didn't know were there. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to pick it up too

Ginger,
What color paper did you use? I see a lovely pink glow in the background? Or is that a soft sunrise?
Except for the stark light outline around the smaller shell, I'd say you did quite a good job. See if you can blend in that outline a bit. I had the same problem and just moved the tops of the shell ribs up a bit.

Great job Ginger, especially on the large shell, I can see your mastery of the technique improved as you progressed with the drawing

Man this was challenging
! Seeing all your shells and comparing them to mine I realise i definitely need more practice with all these techniques. Battled with the sand, battled with the ribs (mine are so squarish and there are way too few of them on the big shell) my foreground shell is a dodgy shape with some very strangely shaped ribs
, aaah!
I realised i was in deep trouble when Nolan had completed his final cloth wash on the big shell and it already looked like a really good shell whereas at the same stage i just had this bland grey wash with no depth or any of the character he had established with so much ease. Loved the lesson and will probably try them again. Anyway thanks Nolan,,,

Trev, a good try and Nolan will no doubt, be around when time allows, to offer his suggestions. However, if I may suggest and in my humble opinion, I think that your drawing would improve tremendously if you softened the lines/shading but as I said, wait for Nolan and his expert advice.

You did well. I totally agree that this drawing was very challenging, but worthwhile from the skills gained in trying.
Keep at it. You are showing lots of progress.
