I’m Drawing a Blank.

Hello! This is the first post of my EDTC 300 learning project. The purpose of this project is to learn a skill through online resources and document the journey on this blog!

This is about where I am now in terms of skill. I drew this picture of Daffy Duck a while ago.

So, after much debate on what I should do for this project, I finally landed on drawing. Being the indecisive person I am, it took me days to decide on this topic. I have always wanted to learn how to draw and have picked it up from time to time. This project is the perfect excuse to finally learn how to draw. I have learned how to draw some cartoons off a picture, but I would love to learn how to draw faces, so that is what I am going to focus on. I will focus on one aspect a week (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and if I have time I will try to tackle some other things as well, and post every week about what I learned, my progress, and what tools I have been using.

    Hey Sarah, I love your project idea. I personally love drawing so I’m looking forward to seeing some of your work. One lesson I’ve learned that has come in handy in my own artwork is to never be afraid of redrawing/remaking things over and over again until you’re happy. My eraser is my best friend haha! I hope your project goes well!!

    Hi Sarah, I have a fear of drawing. I was terrified when I found out I was going to be taking a studio art class 2 years ago, but found a sort of peace when immersed in the process! Excited to see how your journey unfold!

      Hi Shelly! I was always scared (and intimidated) by drawing until I tried it a few years ago and loved it!

    Hey Sarah!
    I am also such an indecisive person that it was soooo hard for me to choose what to do. Drawing is a super cool idea and there will definitely be lots of resources online that you will be able to find to help you! I also found this assignment a great excuse to do something I have been wanting to do and I think that is totally the best part of all! Completing class requirements and doing something we have been wanting to do, all at the same time. Win-win! Also, your Daffy Duck is totally impressive, you’re way better than me already! Keep up the good work!

      Hey Caitlin! I completely agree, this assignment is a great opportunity! Thank you so much! It took me a long time to do, but I like how it turned out!
