  • Review the techniques and videos from class this week.
  1. On paper, create a brand new 5" by 5" drawing. Your prompt is "fall", any take on the subject of a fall. I want you to intentionally create a brand new drawing with the intent that you will be scanning it and digitally coloring it with Photoshop. The way you work will always inform how you work 😉.
    • Draw your linework (a composition or parts) on paper.
    • Scan your linework using the processes discussed in class. Use a camera or your iPhone if you do not have a scanner.
    • Using the techniques discussed in class (or your preferred process) digitally color your shadow drawing using Photoshop.
