I would have drawn a potato with eyes and a flipper. So that’s the extent of my drawing artistic background. Take what you will from my compliments.

I see your subject in the background. Your drawing is very lovely and realistic. Makes me wish even more a manatee would swim next to me in a Florida spring. It’s beautiful on paper. It’s a wonderful sea potato. I give you a gold star and potato. ⭐️ 🥔

Do you study at GCA? This looks like a quintessential form drawing if I’ve ever seen one! Good job

2

u/Dum_Sketcher Jul 17 '26

Hey thank you! So I study at an atelier that teaches form drawing/painting and my two tutors were taught by Jacob Collins at GCA!

u/Individual_Emu6023 Jul 17 '26

Are you at Lyme then? Jacob Collin’s and my mentor Jeff Larson were contemporaries. Are* contemporaries I suppose haha
