Some of the exercises were similar to the ones we did in the other class I took, but they made more sense this time, because of the preparation. <\/p>\n<p>One thing she said was to keep a sketchbook. Her sketchbook has magazine cut outs in in it as well as her own doodles and drawings. I am going to try to at least condense my doodles and drawings, but I may have to just do them in my journal as I can&#8217;t imagine carring a sketchbook as well as a journal. Still, I did get the cool sketchbook with colored pencils for Christmas so perhaps I will have to. <\/p>\n<p>I would recommend her as a teacher. I&#8217;ll post some of my exercises later.
