Weekend Art Challenge – Continuous Line

Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge ….. which was quite the challenge! We asked our students to draw something in either pen or pencil using a continuous line. It might sound easy, but actually its pretty tricky! It really makes your mind think. Our students have created a whole variety of drawings and have sent in some absolute masterpieces considering how difficult it was.

Our feature image is by Lowri Tolman and her continuous line drawing of a dog chasing a cat, chasing a mouse, chasing cheese. We love it! Scroll down to see a version in colour too!

Student Cheryl Day (below) has drawn a very creative piece of three people with flowers on their heads, we feel is absolutely stunning! Pauline has a special mention for her cacti too, what a fab subject to choose! So many amazing pieces, well done to everyone who took part this week!

We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.

The continuous line ladies. Hard challenge but enjoyed it

This week’s challenge was an interesting one and more tricky than I thought but an enjoyable, always nice to try something new! 
I have drawn some cacti in ink!

Here is my contribution to the weekend challenge “continuous line drawing” which wasn’t so easy!
I drew small portraits with indian ink no. 1,5 and then colored them lightly with watercolor.
Rose-Marie Biehlig
A very quick line drawing of BoJo
Andi Bettinson
This is my attempt of the continuous line drawing with Gimp. I am not sure if I was drawing in a right way. I just wanted to give it a try and experiment it.

 Dried allium heads. Always a tricky exercise but great fun.
Dinah Barker
 Continuous line. Thought I’d attempt Louis Theroux in a single stroke. Not sure who this guy is, definitely weird, but fun to do. I’m afraid his raised eyebrows had to be connected with scrawls (proving I didn’t cheat). Great exercise suggestion!!
Julie Smalley
Continuous line drawing in ballpoint pen. A very relaxing exercise
Jackie Groves
I really enjoyed giving this a try. It got me back to drawing after a dry spell
Judy Feilder
Continuous Line Drawing It’s weird cause I cld sense the gears in my brain shifting between Logic/rational, then creative/free flow.
Any how enjoy this week dear artist friends.

Weekend challenge: continuous line drawing. I’ve enjoyed a lot this very pleasant challenge. I’ve used the photo of a beautiul Flamenco dancer and (I have to admit) my light table to realize this drawing.
