Your free 2018 GLOBAL TALENT SEARCH (GTS) PREP: DAY THREE!

Are you enjoying the GTS Prep? Here is Day Three of our free GTS Prep. We are so excited to launch our 5th Global Talent Search (GTS) which begins June 25th! Join the fun with our free prep—three days of mini assignments to get you warmed up for the first GTS assignment. Each of these is like a little hint, too.

The purpose of this is to invite you to draw organic shapes. TIP: Think about shading, as that will help you define the form (the roundness). You will want to have a little practice with this for when you get your first GTS assignment. Feel free to make up your own anemones if you like! Any style works here. You can
