Max 12 pages for each technique, no minimum.

Text should be simple, point form.

Going from start to finish of using a tool, think about how clear you can make this.

Use image that you create as a reference for the technique you're doing.

For next week - choose techniques. Find reference images - make sure this matches the technique you want to do.

Distortion, brushes, gradients.
