This lesson follows on from the revision of a designer lesson in my resources. The reasonong behind the lesson is to reiterate the work of the designer but to also focus on some sketching skills and design thinking. There are 3 tasks.
1 Practicing sketching - Straight lines, Curves, Ellipses, Perspective, Coverging lines
2. Practicing shading and contering
