Graphic Design – Friday

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

Today’s assignment is inspired by Inktober. You can watch how they came up with the idea here. The premise is simple. You are practicing your drawing skills. Only you are going to do this in Photoshop or Illustrator instead of with paper and pen. Feel free to spend a couple of minutes on Instagram and see what artists have done by searching for #Inktober2021.
