First things first. What will I use in my epic and glorious (and doomed) quest? My assets include, my aforementioned sister, Lynzi, the internet (dragoart.com, wikihow.com, and other various sites for guides, tutorials, and just all around help), as well as library books.
My plan is as follows...
Step 1. Choose a picture/tutorial and make a drawing.
Step 2a. Use my many assets to improve my skills for the next 6 weeks (blogging on the way).
Step 2b. Learn to draw cartoony people.
Step 2b and a 1/4. Learn to draw (kinda) realistic people.
Step 3. Find and redraw the original picture and see if I have improved.
Step 4. Present my findings to the class in my TED talk using my pictures and show my progress/lack thereof.
Challenges I will encounter...
-Procrastination.
-Aforementioned lack of skill.
-Having time to work with my sister.
-Not getting so frustrated that I'll explode.
Solutions
-Deadlines.
-Working on it.
-Figure out a schedule
-Patience is a virtue.
Well, here we go. Wish me luck!
....But this one will take the step and trip and fall flat on it's face. Here goes nothing.
For the next 6 weeks I will spend my time on drawing. Drawing people to be exact. Developing a skill I do NOT have. I will be researching the basics and mostly just drawing cartoon or semi-realistic people. My goal is to become somewhat better at drawing, maybe even become good at it, but I expect no such luck. I will ask my sister, Lynzi (who stole all of the art skills from every member in my family, especially me), to help me out. Once I hone my drawing skills, I will hopefully be able to draw well enough to not cause *traumatization at the sight of it. Wish me luck!
