Anne, penguin is adorable,
Patricia, your charcoal drawing is great, well measured between proportions and shadows.
Lesley, great attempt on the penguin.
Joe, nice you try graphite drawing. You could try to make only shadows and do not use it to deligniate borders. I know is the contrary of what we normally do, but this way the shapes appear realistic
. Where there is light you leave blank, where there is dark you draw, , more layers, more dark. Blonde tip is the best for this. Use H first, then 2B then back to H very softly for the paper to keep the tooth. If its gone, then use fixative and keep layering . use a cotton bud to difusse the graphite.
