12. Do some research.
look up 3 different objects or food you would like to try
Draw it out in a simplified way mostly using shapes
I need you to sketch out 3 different ideas you have
Show them to Mr. Dodds to get credit.
Pick your favorite/best kawaii drawing and digitize it.

13. Let me do some examples on the board
First I will do a food
Then I will do an animal
Then I will do something roughly humanoid

14. Both your Kawaii project, and your 10+ object will be due At the end of class on Friday 2/8
If you finish early you are required to do a second object. This can either be another kawaii object of another object of your choosing. Or
If you have not started using the pen tool you make get a head start on that. Watch video 4: Find a simple cartoon object or character, download it, and pen tool all its separate parts.
I will be having a contest. Send me your best objects or kawaii that are of non-copy written things. I will pick the top 2 from each class and print them up as stickers for the winners.
