Sketchbook

SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT: 100 PROPS

Use this giant list as creative “sparks” for drawing your characters in entertaining poses and situations. Each item has been carefully chosen for its potential to give you multiple pose ideas. For example, using a flashlight: Your character could be shining it under their chin while telling a scary story around a campfire; or making shadow puppets; or signaling for help. Or maybe just trying to see in the dark — how might you draw that pose differently if your character is lost, or playing a nighttime game, or searching for something valuable?

Use this list as a springboard for entertaining poses and situations, and then have fun drawing!
