Art class for my Dad. (Part 1- "the Pumpkin")

O.k. The story is... roughly 18 years ago my Dad wanted me to draw all of the pictures from this Jon Gnagy "Learn to Draw" kit. Among many titles my Dad has acquired in his lifetime "Major" in the Airforce, Vietnam vet., mechanical draftsman, artist, singer, guitar player, composer of amazing car ride songs, and wizard of horrible puns. One of these titles was Industrial Arts teacher. My dad used Gnagy's book to help him teach in his class. He said it would really help to improve my art. But we could never figure out how to spell the artists name or what the book was titled. This made it very difficult for me to find the book. My Dad never forgot his request. He would ask me almost every time I saw him where his pictures were and if i had found the book yet. Well His awesome and super patient girlfriend Susan figured out how to spell the artists name. She found the kit and mailed it to me. Thank you Suzi!
Well it's 18 years late. But luckely it's never to late to practice drawing.
Here we go.
This ones for you Dad.
I hope I can do it justice.

Here is my first drawing "the Pumpkin" in all of the stages that are in the book plus the warm up routine.
P.S. after doing the first I realized I might need to do these a couple of times ... HA! Ha! Ha! YOINK!!!
