I make important things for work
My digital media classes are designing cereal boxes, and one of the requirements is that they include a custom mascot. Some of my students are unsure of their drawing skills, so today I showed them how they can use a reference image to make a mascot. I used my head as the sample image. I started by showing them the over-detailed image, then the simplified one, and finally the exaggerated and even simpler version. Let’s hope it keeps them from making theirs from AI slop!

Guided
I tried two tricks. I used one of them- turning the picture upside down- for the last picture. This time I added an 8×6 grid to give me 48 squares to keep me on track. Much less stretchy. I guess it’s better than tracing.

The main thing I learned: I have hairy ears.
Now I need to figure out how to do it right side up without the grid.
