CLASS ASSIGNMENT

Your final piece will be a lovely sketched botanical arrangement using Adobe Illustrator. But first we'll be learning some sketching tips and techniques for drawing flowers. If you don't have Adobe Illustrator and you're comfortable using an alternative app like Adobe Photoshop to do the arranging, that will work too!

Don't forget to download the resources found in the right hand side bar under "Resources".
