    Intro: Here I will explain who I am, and I will show you some of the works I do for a living. I will also explain how I got the idea to make this lecture in the first place. The idea came after someone posted a question about one of their drawings, on a facebook group I follow (Frame Dump, a group for storyboard artists, I recommend you follow the group). I saw immediately that this person had trouble making realistic drawings, because they didn't use photos references. So I decided to create a course explaining how to correctly use photos to make your drawings better and more believable.

Requirements

  • Some basic knowledge of the software photoshop
  • Some basic to intermediate drawing skills
  • Some anatomy knowledge
  • Some color basic theory knowledge

Description

I first got the idea to create this course, after someone posted a question about their drawing on a Facebook group I follow, dedicated to storyboard artists (Frame Dump). I immediately understood that their drawing lacked realism, didn't look professional, because they didn't use any photos references to create it. It was painfully obvious to a trained eye. That's why I realized it would be so valuable to create a course, showing how a professional artist uses photos to draw and color faster, better, and in a more realist way.


There are so many courses here and elsewhere, teaching people how to draw or color. But I realized nobody really explained, in a precise and coherent manner, the little tips and tricks that professional artists use to deliver quality content, in a timely manner. I think this course will help intermediate artists work more efficiently. And then be profitable on the market.


This course will not teach you anatomy, or how to draw. It will not teach you the fundamentals of photoshop. But if you already have the basics of those skills, it will show you how professional work is really done. It will give you all the tips and tricks to draw more efficiently. If you are a complete beginner, it can still be useful, to give you a few indications of what to do later on, to work in this beautiful field.


Looking forward to seeing you inside :)

Who this course is for:

  • "Intermediate" artists, who already have some basic drawing skills, but whose drawings lack realism.
  • Any artist who wants to draw faster, in a professional mindset
  • Or to anyone who wants to know more about professional artists tips and tricks
