About the Project

Your project for this course will be to create your own bookshelf illustration inspired by things you personally enjoy or resonate with.

Your project will be unique to you. While I give you plenty of ideas, inspiration, and tips, you will take the information and run with it. You will learn to compose, draw, and illustrate your own scene of joyful objects.
