Last night 4A students were assigned model drawing for homework. I bet some of you may have wondered “What kind of homework is this?” or maybe you know a little or nothing about model drawing.
There has been a lot of research, websites, tutorials about model drawing. Instead of telling you, I’d like to show a few website that we’ll use to practice model drawing. You can also check out these sites to practice on your own or with your keiki.
