Fill at least one page for each of these warmups.

  • Page Skating
  • Light, Medium, Dark Lines
  • Straight Taper
  • Trace the Ruler
  • Connect the Dots

Remember the key is consistency, these are not meant to be done just once. Don’t be afraid to fill up a lot of paper. As you go through this course, do a page of warm-ups before you start drawing.

Fun warmups but I felt eager to finish them so I could start drawing, so some of the lines were rushed. I’ll have to keep working on that

The last one I did while watching the video. I don’t seem to have an option without critique. So feel free to not I suppose.

Great exercises. I did not expect page skating to be so fun! When the page skating is done you have cool organic forms to play with.

Just thought I mentioned something! I'm not sure if this is something I'm imagining, but I have a feeling like your lines could still be even more confident, and I think that speed might be a factor. Perhaps you're trying the lines too slow, or the page might be too small for the broadest strokes? Hope this helps, and I'm glad you're having fun, page skating is a really cool exercise!

Page skating is super fun! Once the shapes are there it’s hard not to see an organic form and not to throw some cross contours on it.

Page skating was a new type of exercise that I haven't come across before, liked it!

Man that was tougher than I remember, the connect the dots was especially poor. Need to practice

Sensing that the “dot” exercise is my biggest opportunity for a warmup going forward. More to come.

Hello, everyone! These are my warm ups so far. The page is huge, so I have many days on the same page. I do 5 minutes each, when I have the time. When I don't I try to do at least 3 for 5 minutes.
