2D images / Noodling with Photoshop
Black and white compositional studies.
Exercise: Referencing an old master, use 3-4 greyscale tones max to block in to create small thumbnail images. This forces you to look at the composition and how light describes the shapes.
I have found this exercise really useful when it comes to 3D modelling; finding interesting silhouettes and seeing how far you can push a model or simple texture.
