Here are a few words of introduction on what are we going to base the course on. I´m talking about structure and how you will be able to draw just about anything when using this method.
There is a simple way to find the perspective of your character using spheres. Here I´m going to show you how you can do that with no effort.
Learn how to draw this simple skeleton structure with a stick figure and a sphere and you can apply it to any dragon design. In fact, you can apply it to any other character design.
Here we are going to design our first Dragon!
When you do the groundwork the design creates itself. Refine and polish your design with a black pencil and add details to make it more appealing and real.
Here we will start breaking the limiting beliefs about how you should draw a dragon and find some interesting new designs for our second dragon.
Here we are going to design a different dragon based on the size of the shapes we´ve drafted out. You will learn how you can design a character based on features typical for a certain age.
This is yet another, different way to approach a dragon´s design. Find out more in this lecture.
Let´s design a new dragon and draw some poses with him.
Here we are going to use the same principle with the simple basic skeleton to draw a sitting pose of the new dragon´s design.
How can you draw a dragon without being able to draw it flying? In this lecture, we are going to do just that.
This is a fun exercise that will force you to be creative. We are going to design a stylized dragon out of undefined shapes. You will be amazed at what your subconscious can deliver.
How do you go about drawing a dragon out of shapes that don´t look like a dragon?
How randomly drawn shapes can lead you to design a different type of dragon.
Taking lead from what the shape suggests we are going to design a dragon with a long neck and a small body.
You are going to draw another cartoon dragon here using the knowledge from the previous lectures and adding up to it by drawing a sitting dragon.
Designing a new dragon and posing it differently than the others.
Do you like storytelling? Then you must like dragons. If that´s you, you are in the right place. In this course, I´m going to guide you through a simple technique and teach you how you can draw any dragon designs you like.
You will learn that there is not only one type of dragon design and you will be encouraged and guided to find your own style.
Look, I know, quadrupeds are some of the most difficult animals to draw, such as houses, cats, dogs, dinosaurs, and most of all dragons.
But, believe me, it is the most rewarding thing when you´ve learned how to do it. All you need is special guidance through the process.
Why dragons? Learning how to draw by drawing something you love drawing increases your chances to grasp the concept faster. Also, dragons can be all sorts of shapes and forms, so no one will accuse you of drawing a dragon wrong (not that it matters). But it will free your imagination to explore different approaches to designing characters overall.
This course will give you the tools to start drawing now only dragons but any sort of cartoon character.
You don´t need to know how to draw.
All you need is the desire to explore.
Hope to see you inside the course.
