Assignment:
Your project for this class is to create a one-line drawing digital or hand-drawn, you choose!
If you don't feel like drawing a flower or a plant I encourage you to draw what truly makes you feel inspired. You'll be able to apply the process I shared to any other subject you would like to draw and you can decide whether to use your Ipad or make a hand-drawn illustration.

Also feel free to follow one of the ideas I gave you and create a bookmark, an art journal page, or frame your illustration.

Here is all you need to start this class:

pencil

eraser
a pen (fineliner, sharpie, anything you prefer)

If you'd like to add color to your illustration:

watercolors
watercolor paper
brushes
a jar of water
paper towel

Class resources:

Worksheet to print out (if you'd like to break the ice and start with playful exercises)
Reference photos we use in lesson 6. Let's practice
Pinterest Board to get more inspiration and ideas

Getting started:
First, watch the project and material classes to get an in-depth idea of what we'll do in this course. Then follow along with lesson 4 and break the ice by doing the worksheet I provided you. Watch lesson 5 to see and understand the 4 steps that will help you make a one-line drawing and put everything into practice in the next lesson. Lastly, let yourself feel inspired by delicate pastel colors and creative ideas to make your own illustration.

Sharing your work:
Use the projects and resources tab to upload your project and don't forget to tag me if you share your work on Instagram :) I can't wait to see it!!!

If you have any questions or need more tips, please reach out to me. I'll be happy to help!

At the end of this class, you'll be able to simplify a complex image to a still powerful line and apply this technique to anything you want to draw.
