Sketchbook Assignment 1: Simple shapes
Sketchbook assignment 1 is simple.
Draw 50 elipses (circles and squashed circles) and 50 parrallelograms
(squares, rectangles, and squashed forms with parallel sides). Roughly
5-10 per page. Find an item to reference (dinner plates, can of pop,
fan, television, etc.) and try drawing the round and squarish shapes at
different angles. Do not draw small. Use your whole arm when you draw
these shapes, moving your elbows and shoulder to draw the shapes and
pull your hands along.
Do not use short, repetitive motions of the hand or wrist to make your shapes. Get your body into the movement for quicker, more fluid mark making.

This seemed like an overly basic assignment to me, however just dealing with repetitive shapes and the materials really did help. I think this is something that can be quite useful. I'm going to go back and try out all of these assignments on my drawing tablet as it is a new "medium" as well.
