Rewarding Exercise With Students: Blending and expressing light and shadow

Working with pencil and practicing blending to create a 3 dimensional illusion is such a helpful exercise! It's so rewarding for both the student and teacher. A student who I give private lessons to created this beauty last week. My Willow Wind Students did amazing work with this assignment as well! It's always a good idea to visit and revisit fundamentals such as these to continue refining drawing skills.
