Week 1: 05/12/08 —Monday, 6:00pm —Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everyone, Well, this is the blog for the Computer Drawing class. It is a class for learning the basics of how to draw both by hand and in the computer. Therefore, you will acquire skills with drawing by hand from life with pencils and charcoal on paper and using Adobe Flash and Illustrator in the computer. I have just begun this blog, so, unlike the blogs for my other classes, it will be a more bare-bones affair. For the time being, I will not give a step-by-step set of instructions here online, as I do in my other blogs for my animation course and my web-design course. Instead, I will provide links for the weekly handouts and Flash or Illustrator files when necessary. When you download those handouts, you will find a very detailed set of step-by-step instructions instead of here online. A couple of other things about this blog: first, you should notice on the right-hand side that there is a Meebo chat window where you will be able to see whether I am online or not, and, if you have a question or a comment—or if you just want to say hi—you can do so by typing in a message and hitting enter; second, down at the bottom of this posting, you will find a place where you can publish comments of your own for everyone to see. Chances are that if you have a question, others in my classes will have the same question. So, please type something there. I will post a response quickly.
