I really want to get better at sketching and drawing from imagination. I took a 9 week Sketching from Imagination class with Sorie Kim. The second half of the class overlapped with my New Zealand trip so I was only partially available to do all the homeworks. However, now that I am home I working through the course and redoing the lectures and assignments. There was so much in this course that I learned just as much from the other students as I did from Sorie.

Below are a few early examples using material I was already familiar with. Drawing from imagination is actually drawing from memory and designing from imagination. This class was so eye opening! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
