Tonight, I started viewing the video lessons of Jonathan Twingley in Sketchbook Skool's Stretching klass. I've been looking at his work on his website and have admired his style and editorial illustration work. I couldn't wait to see what he would teach us!

After viewing all of the videos, I can definitely tell that his homework will be an exercise in stretching for sure. The first mini assignment is to draw a visual image from a dream right after waking up. I hardly remember my dreams at all - I think because I am constantly sleep deprived, but I will keep a sketchbook and pen on my nightstand in the hopes that I will remember something. {I will also try to get to sleep earlier this week to facilitate dreaming!)

Jonathan's next mini assignment is to splatter some colored ink on a paper towel, press your sketchbook pages together and after the ink dries, use black ink to make a drawing. Here is my attempt:

For the rest of the week, I need to make several drawings of anything really on loose sheets of paper every day for the next six days. At the end of those days, I need to lay out the drawings and then cut out some shapes and make a new composition with them, adding more drawing. I can't wait . . . Stay tuned!
