5. Object must show a level of complexity showing texture, over lapping shapes and text is optional
6. Color is optional.7. Keep the line work clean and not sketchy.

Weekend Drawing Project

1. Above are the steps I took to create my own version of the photo that is on the far right.
2. Below is the photo that I would like you to use as inspiration... do not draw exactly what you see, allow your inner voice guide you.
3. Use the Blue/Red pencil for the sketch.
4. Add ink using two pen thicknesses.
5. Draw the character full page, (Color will come later).

If you have the textbook, you can start reading chapters:

#1 on creating files

#3 on workspace

#4 on panels

#6 on geometric objects

Don't Panic... the chapters are very short with lots of pictures.
