3. The project!
You will create a composition using the sign
language letters of your name
Overlap, vary the size and direction
4. Drawing 101
Contour lines = outside lines and edges
Go slowly! Take your time. The more time you
spend and the more effort you put into the
details, the better your art will be.
Draw only what you see, not what your memory
(left brain) tells you!
5. Shading
Once your contour is complete, add shading to make
it realistic!
pointillism
cross hatching
scrumbling
value
6.
TAKE TIME TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR
COMPOSITION!!!
