Today's first sketch. I feel that I have learned some things from it. This is a sketch I started this morning of my eight year old niece Ayla. At first, I was okay with it. Here is where I started learning. I showed it to her when she got home from school and I was given a lesson in constructive criticism. But, she is right, it's not perfect. In fact, the more I look at it the more flaws I see. But would I see them if she had reacted the way all of my friends have when I have shown them the sketches I did of them? :) Not all of learning how to be artful is simply in the art you create and it's quality.
