I had these done about 20 hours ago, but I spent too much time waffling about whether to join the forum and post, and missed the dl. Which is fine, I just wanted to post them anyway. I only got 92 notans finished, and the last couple was blatant cheating as I just kept doing value studies.
Disclaimer: I am not particularly artistically gifted or skilled. I've always meant to dabble in it, but never knew where to start. Couple weeks ago I received a graphics tablet as a gift and as it quickly became clear that managing the resulting mess on the screen was going to take a lot of practice, I started looking for ideas for how to go about it. I found this class and the sheer amount of notans required seemed like the ideal way to gain some control over my errant pixels. And oh boy was it ever! Even I can clearly see the improvement.
So thank you very, very much for providing the opportunity for me to learn a new skill. One I really enjoyed, and will continue practicing. I'll try to follow along with the rest of the assignments, for so long as my abilities allow. I guess I just wanted to say that when things get to that inevitable point where you wonder why you are doing this and making so much work for yourself (at least, most of my projects reach that point), you should know you opened up an entire new world and changed a random stranger's life for the better.
And I will stop babbling now.
