Let's start with some basic training, since we're "nubile young things" :D
Interesting characters and expressions are a key part of illustrating, so for this assignment you'll have to come up with your own character, just the head for now, and draw at least 6 different expressions of your choice.
No color is needed (in fact I'd recommend only line art) and it doesn't matter how realistic the character is, original/interesting is the key.
Since we're trying to improve our digital illustration skills I suggest you create your submission using a graphic tablet, but stroked paths or traditional pencil are also good.
Please try to organize your submission as in the example above and write the expression you intended to recreate under each instance of the character's head.
If you're feeling a bit confused on how to do it, read this extract from "Fun with a pencil" by Andrew Loomis, it should give you all the information you need.
You have until Sunday 03/18/07 to submit.
I'd like to repeat that this assignment is by no means mandatory, if you feel confident that you're already familiar with this topic or simply don't have the time/mood to do it, there's no problem.
When you want to submit something pls PM me, on Worth, with a link to your picture or e-mail it to me and I'll include it in this post. This way we'll keep the blog clean.
