hello! this is something i am currently struggling with, so i'm looking forward to working my way through all five projects over a five day period as suggested by ria. 

first up, exercise one, pencil study:

afternoon break to complete exercise two, black and white study:

exercise three was a rough attempt at watercoloring:

circling back to this class after a long while of inactivity and decided to pick up where i left off. for exercise four, a pencil holder that was full of pencils and pens on the desk next to me. sketched out the general shapes and then decided to take it into Ps to color.
