Preinstruction Drawings:
Before you begin: Use pencil and Sketch book. Each drawing may take ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes, or longer if you wish. Be sure to date the drawings, as they will provide a record of your present level of drawing skill.
Drawing one:
Draw a picture of a person without looking at anyone. There are no specific directions for this drawing, only the general direction to “draw a person.” No copying from pictures.
Drawing two:
Draw a picture of your own hand. If you are right-handed, draw your left hand in whatever position you choose. If you are left-handed, draw your right hand.
Drawing three:
Draw yourself by looking in a mirror. Do not use a photograph.
After you finish: On the back of each drawing, write your assessment of the drawing – what is pleasing to you and displeasing to you about each drawing. These comments will be interesting to you at the end of the set of exercises.
