After a particular exercise in a "Intro to Drawing" class I was offering, I decided the exercise had been too difficult for the students. I decided to do the exercise myself to try to learn why that was. The exercises I did for myself ranged from relatively simple drawings done from memory to more complex drawings done over days and involving new still-life compositions.
