Keep it simple stupid

This module is all about the techniques, media and technicalities of making illustrations, exploring and experimenting with four 'classic' ways of getting that ink onto a flat surface: dip pen, fine-liner, brush and 'improvised' brush. Looking at techniques such as cross-hatching, stippling, local tone and the use of pattern and solid black. As well as, experimenting with the techniques by making drawings of two things: 1) a simple still life involving books, cups, plates and a bottle and 2) yourself (self-portraits).
