The contour hand drawings and the watercolor mini lessons I think were the most beneficial to me. The contour drawings taught me how to move my hand through the pen with my eye to copy the same shape of the object I was looking at. This helped me later on in bigger projects like drawing the skeleton. I think now I'm better able to accurately resemble shape and proportion. I also enjoyed learning how to use watercolors. Obviously I still need some practice but I think I'll have a good start. In the future I could definitely incorporate the strategies that we're shown to us that can manipulate the material to show texture or other interesting things. Learning how to use the watercolors by looking at apples definitely helped me understand how to use color line and texture with that material.
