Lesson 1: Part A

Hello! Glad to see people working so hard already, it's very refreshing to see people motivated.

Before we start I want to put this message across, even if you are already decent at art and wouldn't consider yourself to be a beginner, I'd like you to forget all that you've learned and focus on the lessons. The site puts it best; "On the topic of those of you with prior experience - for now, leave what you know at the door. Once you're done the exercises, you can take what you've learned and merge it back with what you know, keeping what you find valuable and tossing out what isn't."

To start today's lesson I think we should all start with the first lesson on draw a box. It's a wonderful resource that you can use, we will be using snippets of this as well as other things throughout our class.

I want everyone to read through the entire lesson, then do what is listed for homework. It will build up your line quality quite a bit, especially if you are a beginner.

Be sure to read over all of it.

Also I would like if the class would watch this video:

I know it was left up in the resource room, but if you haven't already given it a watch I would prefer if you would do it now.

Next part of the lesson will cover elipses and planes, and we will be doing blind contour drawings.
