I often do "10 stroke" exercises with my students. The idea is to light an object so there is a cast shadow and then using only 10 strokes begin to define that object. This is a good exercise for being deliberate with your colors, strokes and values. In this demo, I did several 10 strokes and then showed how to continue from there...but still used limited strokes.
