This week's drill is all about sneakers, kicks or whatever you want to call them. Everyone has them, and everyone has their eyes on a pair they'd love to own. The project you create could be a slick pair of vintage Air Jordans, it could be an old pair of converse, some Yeezy from Kayne West or even some DC kicks for all you skaters out there. Go realistic, go cartoony, go 3d, go 2d... it doesn't matter, just push yourself to create something in a week and surprise yourself.
