Autumn Leaves (Pencil) Preclass

Before we start…a little housekeeping

I retain the copyright to the content you are learning in class. That means…

1. Do not sell or give away the concepts from my classes – you may not re-teach my instruction contained or created within these lessons.
2. Do not post a video tutorial or step by step photo tutorial of your own redraw of class content.
3. Do not repost any handouts you receive in class.

However…I love to see students making strides and taking this teaching and personalizing it with your own skills.

1. DO make your own designs and develop your own style! I love that!
2. DO gift your creations made with these techniques, of course!

At the bottom of each lesson you’ll see some ways to share your homework and ask questions, so that’ll be handy for you.

Make a test sheet

Test out your pencils on a scrap sheet of the paper you’ll use for your art piece. This can be on a strip of paper to make the most of it, or print out the test sheet shown in the video. Remember, the names printed on the sheet are generic suggested names; they may or may not match color names on your pencils, and most likely won’t at all!
