Hat:
Create a narrative style drawing of someone in a hat. Your investigation and statement of the subject should be more than just a person in a hat. The hat should explain and help define the subject’s character and/or persona. Keep in mind, when putting on the hat; the subject should reveal a new or different identity all together and it’s this identity or persona that should come through in the finished drawing.

Objectives:
The drawing should consist of visual information and environmental elements
that support and inform the idea.
Look at Delacroix, specifically
Correct use of photo reference.
Create a complete picture dealing with the entire composition.

Requirements:

When constructing the drawing, work in terms of general to specific
Remember, the finished drawing is the result successive sittings; this coincides with the concept of general to specific
When shooting the photo reference, your subject should fill the majority of the camera view-finder

Make sure you have a clear understanding of the concept you’re trying to achieve with the finished drawing
Let the drawing live as a drawn image
Confirm that the composition reflects the point of the picture
