should i sketch my images of people in my IWB, and then copy them onto the computer? Or should i do them on a different sheet of paper? Oh, and did u ever get a email back from the guy who let us use that room for spraypainting?
What do you mean copy them onto a computer? Do you mean scan? You can draw them where ever you like. Not all computer printers work with the photo transfer. I suggest drawing them and then using a copy machine to make the prints to transfer. I bet Dahls by your house has one for public use.
He did not find anything in his room. I would suggest going to his room to check for yourself. He could have just not seen it.
Thanks, Mrs.Green!
Can you post the new Studio Work/Gallery Visit IWB requirements on the wiki?
