Hands-on Class Project

Assignment:

Your class project is to draw all or part of your favorite animal that presents a challenging texture – its up to you!

Supplies:

Use whatever pens, fine liners, and paper you have available. I recommend:

Any paper or sketchbook suitable for ink media
Fine liners such as Sakura Micron or Molotow black liners (although any pen will work!)
Drawing pencils (HB, 2H, or 4H should work nicely)
Eraser (kneaded erasers would great)

Getting Started:

Decide what animal you'd like for your drawing
Start sketching the animal on the drawing paper you've selected - not too small or too large!
Remember – it doesn’t have to be perfectly accurate – our focus is on trying the techniques out with the ultimate goal of achieving a realistic texture!
Next, go over your sketch with the fine liners or ink pens you've chosen
Remember, it's always best to start off lightly and then build up with layers.
Be sure and use at least one or a combination of the techniques we covered in the lessons.
Also - remember to keep in mind where your light source is coming from!
You don't have to finish all in one sitting - take a break if you need to and come back later. Taking breaks often helps give you a fresh perspective.

Sharing Your Work:
