Project: How to draw anything - Day 1 (Being day 11 of Gameplan)
Mark Making
This is day 1 of How to Draw Anything, today’s dispatch is titled Mark Making. You can check out the entire Gameplan here.
Project Notes: For this project divide your spread into two sections. We will use the right page for the Art Assignment, and the left page for notes. In the example below you’ll see I left the left page for notes, and used washi tape to mask an ‘Art’ area. Once the washi tape is removed, the blank white space will create a nice frame for the artwork.
This project is meant to supplement your daily art practice rather than replace it. It will give you tools to tackle your daily practice with more confidence and skill. I will leave it to you to decide how you will make time for this extra practice. Perhaps you will take an additional ten minute slot per day. Or maybe you can manage a few hours somewhere in the week. Revisit the first project, if you need help making the time for this additional practice.
Some of you might also already be thinking of doing this using ‘No extra time’ and somehow baking it into their daily practice, you’re free to try that too.
It’s just important to maintain your self initiated daily practice, while adding these skill builders.
With that let us begin!
Welcome to day 1:
