Exercise on grid enlargement and tonal value shading thingy. I think this took me about 7 hours in total. Today he made us draw a lot of stuff without looking at our work and without looking at the object and without lifting the pencil off the paper and with charcoal and in two minutes. We [...]
Week two ended yesterday and I am STILL freaking out. Got a poster due on Tuesday and I have about 4% of it done. By 4% I mean, I have JACK SHIT. It’s for an international competition held annually by Fur Free Alliance called “Design Against Fur”. The details are on its site in the [...]

We produced stationery articles, namely: Business card With compliments slip Letterhead This class is, by far, my favorite.
