For this class project, I would like you to sketch a simple illustration, and then I want you to use a limited color palette to add color to it. This illustration can be done using traditional or digital media, whichever you feel more confortable working with.

Since we will be focusing on the color palette and the use of it to explore your style, and not on the illustration or the sketch per se, we will use a 1 main prompt and 2 free prompts to help us create our simple sketch quickly.

We will be drawing 3 things in our sketch:

A teacup or a mug, which will be our main prompt

and 2 objects or elements of your liking. This can be anything you enjoy drawing, like flowers or animals. I suggest you draw something you’re familiar with.

Then we will add the colors we have selected for the illustration as we advance through the lessons, considering key concepts like color properties, tension and balance.

We will be doing all the steps together, so don’t be frightened!

In the final illustration, I would like to see:

A limited color palette that complements the mood of your illustration
I want to see some of your personality shining through the objects you added to your sketch and the colors you picked
Your use of color to enhance the mood in the illustration and your personal style
