Pick a piece from your inspiration folder and a piece from one of your classmate's inspiration folder.

This assignment is less about producing an attractive illustration, and more about studying and understanding the way other artists work. Try to pick two styles that aren't close to each, in medium, detail and cultural background.

1. Forge the sketches. During the first session, create preliminary drawings for each of the pieces—imagine what that artist must’ve drawn before the final—the rough sketch, the compositional breakdown, maybe even color studies. Feel free to go as rough and loose as you want—the aim is to dissect the final piece and attempt to re-trace the process of its creation. Make several sketches—some for composition and design, some for poses, gestures, etc. Remember that the goal is understanding and unearthing the process, rather than forging a perfect copy.
2. Re-create the first piece in the style of the second one, and vice versa. During the second session, make sketches for each of the two pieces as if they were drawn by the other artist. Take your time and make several smaller studies before you work on the main sketch—consider the composition and design as much as the style itself. While you should keep the pieces recognizable, if the two artists have very different treatment (flat and isometric), you can adjust the composition to reflect these differences. The finals can be in sketch stage for both of the sessions, or you can try your hand with ink, digital or whatever other medium is used by the artist.

Format: the format of the given pieces.
