Assignment:

Your class project is to draw an expressive cartoon face! This can be a character that develops as you make your sketch, or perhaps one of your favorite characters drawn in your style!

Materials:

Use whatever pencils, paper, and markers you have available. I recommend:

Prismacolor Premier Non-Photo Blue Pencils
Strathmore Sketch Pad
Kneaded Eraser
Ohuhu Dual Tip Markers

Getting Started:

Review 'Lesson 9: Expressions' and choose an expression to use in your drawing. Below are the twelve expressions I review in class. You can also download the reference sheet to print out.
