Sketchbook Assignment
Get down low and take a photo of someone's legs at an angle like the sample images (or have someone take a picture of your legs.) Notice how the shoe closest to the viewer takes up half of the page. This is called FORESHORTENING. It's a form of perspective.
Using your reference photo, sketch the picture, filling up a page in your sketchbook. Use ink to create a contour drawing, then shade or color it as you choose. If you want to do ink and watercolor, please use a piece of watercolor paper. It will handle the watercolor paints better than your sketchbook paper. Experiment with your own style.
You have two weeks to complete this project. Due Jan. 21.
