Tips

The main purpose of this assignment is to gain facility with direct observation through deliberate practice. That said, as an experiment you may emulate no more than five 'drawings' from a master artist from source material. It can also be useful to learn to draw from other's drawings. May I suggest the image tab from a Google search such as drawings anatomy hands?
