Izzy had us choose freeze frames from old black and white movies to spend 3-5 minutes drawing using only monotones and focus on creating positive/negative space. I particularly struggled with this task as I’m not confident in shading or distinguishing contrast/values in an image. If I were to try something like this again, I think I would be more comfortable using a charcoal and eraser.

The next task had us drawing our surroundings using one continuous line. Izzy encouraged us to be looking up at what we were drawing than down at the paper and let instinct guide us.
