3/22/2021 – More sketchbook prompts, at long last:
Prompts (top left to bottom right):

- Blacken a page of your sketchbook with charcoal or graphite. Use an eraser to draw a subject. Focus on creating an illusion of form.
- Ask someone to stay still while you draw his or her portrait. Try to create a likeness of your subject.
- Choose a subject that can be used to create a symmetrical drawing. Draw it in a sketchbook. Change your point of view and draw the same subject as an asymmetrical composition.
