1. Pre-instruction Drawing

A walk into the unknown

To get started you will make a record of your current drawing skill level. This is super valuable, and it gives you a keepsake and reminder of just where you started this journey. It will be something you can go back to later and compare your later drawings with to see your progress.

If you are an experienced artist this might be easy for you, but if you are a beginner it might be both scary and exciting. Let me encourage you to jump in with both feet because the you do the earth will move beneath you to support your next step! See the attached document 'DO THIS FIRST' to get started.
