This is a fun course, I am really enjoying drawing along. you make it look very easy. I definitely need to soften my touch with the willow, it works fine for the warm-ups but I am struggling to draw with it. the attached have been mainly using compressed charcoal pencils which have created a dirty look instead of smokey.

After W. W. Denslow from the wizard of oz illustrations. I think his drawings are so fun and whimsical. Proportions are a bit off I can see but hopefully I’m on the right track with the line weights.
