Love it! -- Rachel

I think this was a good effort. The laces look good. Sometimes moving what you are drawing to a different angle (i.e. turning the front of the shoe more towards you) might give you a better shape to draw or more interesting shadows. I like that you drew something you see everyday. I think it helps you notice different things about everyday objects. -- Sharon

Very cool! -- Sharon

Nice work. I think this is cool! -- Rachel

Very cool! Each of the wrappers looks realistic. My only suggestion would be to make the wrappers a bit larger to utilize more of the space. -- Sharon

Sammy, you always amaze me with your work! Love it! -- Nana

Interesting. Good use of color. I agree that the orange pepper looks more authentic than the green - although seeing it online in a smaller version they both look accurate. Not sure why. Anyway, your shading looks to be getting better in helping to give things you've drawn more shape. Good job! -- Sharon

I love this. It reminds me of the opening sequence in "Spectre" (the James Bond movie) where there is a Dia de Muertes celebration. You would fit right in. -- Sharon

I've never seen Shawn Mendes, so I looked up a picture of him. I think you did a good job on getting his hair and the shape of his face. I think you did a really good job on the nose (which is pretty hard to draw). Overall I think you did a good job on this project. -- Sharon

Very cool drawing. I agree the phone you drew does look like your phone. Nice detail on the logos and shading. -- Sharon

This is very colorful. I like the use of all the colors and different patterns. I also looked at some of Klimt's pieces and it looks to me like you got the concept. -- Sharon

I like your picture. I like that it's colorful. Your proportions are a little off, but all in all I think you did a great job. The dressers look like dressers, the bed looks like a bed. I like the ceiling fan and the skylight. The wood floor looks like a wood floor. Good job! -- Sharon

Nice job! I agree, I think the goggles look like goggles! Shading is tough and takes practice to recognize where the light is coming from and keeping the shadows all in proportion. I also like that you didn't just put in Lacrosse items, but included a spatula which definitely represents another side of you. -- Sharon

I can see you are really progressing with your art work. Your proportions are good and the shading appears to be getting better. -- Sharon

I really was happy to see this since you had been telling me about your progress on this piece. I like that it's colorful. It reminds me of the Fisher-Price circus train we used to have when you were little. Nice work. -- Sharon

Tres magnifique! It looks very Parisian with the bistro table and chairs and the Eiffel Tower. -- Sharon

Looking good kiddo! I love it! -- MOM

This is so cool! I think you did a really good job drawing and shading the utensils. I also think you are making a lot of progress in your drawing and shading skills. I definitely see growth. I'll say "good job" since you can't actually hear my WOO! -- Sharon

I recognized that the picture is of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. I think you did a pretty good job on this project. -- Sharon

Why so sad? -- Rachel

I like all the colors. It looks like you are beginning to master the burnishing technique. -- Sharon

I think you did a really good job on this piece. The first thing I notice when I look at this is the eyes. I agree with you that they look "real". I think you did well on the shading. -- Sharon

Looks AWESOME!!!! -- MOM

Great use of colors. I especially like the contrast of dark colors on light backgrounds and light colors on a dark background. -- Sharon

Interesting use of colors. The first thing I noticed is the teeth. They match the sharp wings and pointy ears. -- Sharon

When we were talking about your next sketch I see why you weren't interested in sketching leaves on a tree - you'd already done that! I think you did a good job sketching this leaf. The color reminds me of the trees around your house and I think the way you shaded and colored the stem makes it look like you could pick it up off the paper. -- Sharon
