Assignment #2A will be due Thurs September 8th at the beginning of class - post to blog - also all WIP (work in progress) and Skeletons for your 4.

for our assignment I am only asking for exterior silhouettes (no detail inside - just solid black). concentrate on that for now - play with Dominant Masses, Costumes, Gestures, Proportion, Shape variation (Big, Medium, Small) - apply what we have talked about in class so far (we will add on to this Thursday with Interior Silhouettes).

some mediums you might try- Digital, ebony pencil, Conte,  sharpie marker, Indian Ink, Cut paper, bic pen - NO MECHANICAL PENCILS

Here are some examples of what I am looking for:
