Practice your iPad drawing skills with a fun activity from your grade school days—updated with a digital twist!
Did your elementary school art teacher ever give you the assignment where they sliced a picture in two, gave you one half of it, and tasked you with re-drawing the other half however you’d like? Illustrator Robert Generette III remembers doing this growing up, and now he’s updated it for the digital world as an activity for breaking through creative blocks and practicing your drawing skills.
In this 45-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—you’ll get to watch as Rob turns his incomplete shark picture into a metallic, laser-covered machine, learning some of his best Adobe Fresco tricks along the way. Draw along with Rob to create your own imaginary shark, or work from a different image entirely! Either way, you’ll finish with a unique piece of work and with your creative muscles revved up and ready to go.
This class is perfect for students of any level, whether you’re just starting to grow your digital drawing skills or are looking for an activity to reinspire your work. Along the way, students who participated in the live class were able to ask questions, so you’ll get to learn more about Rob’s creative process.Â
