I skipped lesson three because I am tired of using Gimp and ordered a new version of Photoshop Elements because I'm familiar with it. Also, I think I finally settled on the materials I like for these studies. The first three pages (which are actually the last three I did) were done with Staedtler blue and purple non-repro pencils, and they seemed to work out well. These were difficult at first, but I felt like I really got the hang of them by the end.
