The document provides a series of drawing exercises for artists to practice different drawing techniques including: drawing a circle in one motion without picking up your pencil, drawing "happy" and "introverted" lines, drawing yourself as a superhero inspired by a child's drawing, drawing your daily commute to Hunter College through pictures only, drawing the person you most admire, and drawing yourself using only vegetable parts inspired by Arcimboldo's work. The exercises are intended to help artists develop skills in areas like form, light/dark, texture, and line.
