Nikolai Noel & Matthew Shelton
Nikolai and Matthew combine a lot of different and sometimes unusual materials to make something new like a weight with jewels on a string, a wood box with plastic and candles, or a hammock made out of metal. Think of two different materials and draw them together to make something new.
Draw something to sit or lay in using your own unusual materials.
Draw something you liked from your favorite piece.
Rashaun Rucker
Sometimes Rashaun draws just the outline of an image and then fills it in using shading. Draw two images side by side: one with just the outline, and the other shaded in. OUTLINE
SHADED
Rashaun Rucker uses pencil and paper to draw images of a bird and a human together. Draw a human mixed with your favorite animal.
