Every year for the past four years I've had the priveledge to draw at the Milwaukee School of Engineering for their welcome week/student orientation. It's a two day gig, seven hours of drawing both days and it is always very busy the whole time. Despite the long hours, I always look forward to working this gig because it's a relaxed atmosphere and the people are always so great.

Step 1: Create the sketch
This is the most important part of the process. Without a good sketch, the final product will never look right no matter how good of a painter you are.
