For the project of this class, you're going to be following along with me as I walk you through those 3 drawing exercises and making your own work. Start simple with the first exercise and try to level up with each new exercise. Bonus content is optional but you are more then welcomed to try it as well. The more drawings done the better things will get.

ASSIGNMENTS:

Finish watching the the first exercise, take notes, if needed.
Make the first warm up drawing.
After watching the second exercise, find the reference image (use the link in the resources section, take photos or find the other references on your own), and make your own drawing using the triangles.
Do the same for the third exercise.
Make the final drawing.
When it comes to bonus drawing, here should be no pressure on you to finish it, but… If you feel like you’re ready to challenge yourself and level up, give it a try.
Post your work in the Project section of the class. You can scan the finished sketching, take a picture with your phone or some other device and upload it.

Since we're aiming to help you develop better drawing confidence, it's absolutely up to you how many of these drawings you share in your class project. If you draw something that you really don't like, don't feel pressured to include it.

Usually, the progress is not very pretty but we can learn a lot from mistakes made by us or other people. For that reason I would love to see what you came up with and help if you run in to any kind of problem. Still, it is entirely up to you to decide if you want to send us your drawings.

Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things?

Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains. And of course this can be applied to drawing and illustration as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2O6mQkFiiw
