Dance Like No One Can See You

Dancers are beautiful. I'm not talking about the spastic guy who tries to do the latest dance moves at crowded dance club and ends up looking like he (or she) is having some sort of seizure. I'm talking about a real dancer. Find an image of a pose that clearly shows the subject is a dancer and draw that person.

An Iconic Image

This week's assignment is to draw an iconic image. Could be a famous photo, a landmark, even a meme. Make it as close a rendering to the original as possible.

Random Patterns

Make something from those pesky patterns you see everywhere. If you're into art in any way, you'll know what I'm talking about. Whether it's a cloud, or pet fur on the floor, you'll have looked at it at some point and seen a face or a car or some other object. For me it's the fantasy-style dwarf that stares at me from the bathroom tile. This weeks' assignment is to draw it. First do a rough sketch. Then work at it to turn it into the item your brain sees all the time.

The Long and Winding Road

This week's assignment is to draw a path. Any path. A road. A walkway. A promenade. Nature trail. But it should have enough background detail to make it clear what type of path it is.
