Warm Up Exercise:
Upside Down Drawing Practice:
Hand outs, have them turn them upside down, try drawing them that way
When you can see in the special way that experienced artists can see, then you can draw. So my goal with this exercise is to have you make the shift to artist mode so you can see the artist's way
Skill Assessment:
Print out sketch of each of the volumetric shapes.
Draw 1 of each volumetric shape, can use ref.
Practice shading these shapes

Let's take a break from volumetric drawing and just try drawing directly from observation.
How did you feel about this method of drawing? Is it easier for you? Faster? Were there areas you struggled with? Symmetry? Consistency?
The 'bump' method- like for drawing a cat- bump method is GREAT for drawing animals and for blocking things in
Take a break and go on a 'noticing walk'
