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 possibly charcoal on paper and using Adobe Flash and Illustrator in the computer. Here in this blog, I will provide links for the weekly handouts and provide you downloads for the Flash or Illustrator files when necessary. When you download those handouts, you will find a very detailed set of step-by-step instructions on what to do for classwork or homework. You will need these instructions for the homework, but also for the classwork in the case that you miss a class and need to make up the work. On that note, however, keep in mind that I DO NOT TAKE LATE WORK. 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.

Hi everybody, Good work this week on the portraits in FLASH of Charlie Chaplin. Please make sure that you finish the ones that you started of him in your sketchbook. Make sure that when you do this, you shade darkly first and then use your eraser to erase away the white area. Only Two more weeks to go, so try to catch up if you are behind! Good luck. Carter-
