Developing Sketching skills

Paulina spent some quality time learning key skills in sketching.

Paulina worked to develop her scale of sketching from small to large. Here she began sketching small things in a small way. You can see she drew a mouse, an ant, and a turtle which are small things.

She began drawing bigger on the page, seen here.

 

Then Paulina was able to stretch her sketching skills to draw a larger picture

 on the page, seen below. She covered the entire page with a house, garage, car going into the garage, chimney, front door with a wreath, steps in front of the house, and someone skating on a backyard rink, while there was snow coming down.

While she was developing her sketching skills Paulina practiced using light strokes, medium strokes and heavy strokes, seen below.
