At the end of the class you can grab any kind of reference image and start drawing the different shapes. You can create a fitting color palette and start your composition.

In our project you should pick a reference image and draw whatever you want. You can post a screenshot of your iPad the reference image and maybe your drawing or you can show us your ready-made drawing, that's totally up to you!
