During the class Mr.Riza introduced us to 6 different sketching techniques that can be used when doing the first assignment which are hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, circling, scribbling, and lastly, shading & blending.

..and this is our first's class activity before we started working on the first assignment:

Here's another sketch that I did during the first week of class. Mr Riza wanted us to try to draw something as quickly as possible as a warm-up to see our sketching ability without spending so much time on it.

Reflection

I personally enjoy doing the assignment as it is my personal preference to draw using pencil only. This is because I don't have to think about choosing colors at all and I all have to think about is the way I control my hand's pressure to achieve the right contrast.
