* Review the techniques and videos from class this week.

# Re-scan your analog illustrations from last week or create TWO new drawings that are the same as the assignment from last week: On paper, create two new 5" by 5" drawings.
#* Draw your linework (a composition or parts) on paper.
#* Scan your linework using the processes discussed in class. Use a flatbed scanner, if you don't have access to one you can use your phone. The results will not be as good.
#* Using the techniques discussed in class (or your preferred process) digitally color both drawings using Photoshop.
#* Upload your original scans AND your layered Photoshop source file to the Google Drive folder: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=14melblWjEApx2CTuw8wd-PhYCnRhcuhW&authuser=matthew%40choppingblock.com&usp=drive_fs svaMFAI_20211004-homework-medium-is-the-message-scan-color]
