Requirements
- We're making it as much as possible about pencil & paper, and learning the fundamental skills.
- We'll go through aspects of digital drawing (for those that have a graphics tablet) but it's not essential.
- If you're going to use a PC or Mac then we recommend Krita. On iPad we suggest trying Procreate.
- However, we stress you don't NEED anything but paper and coloured pencils.
Description
Even if you think you can't draw, don't have the time or talent - with our help you CAN DRAW.
This course focusses on practicing the fundamental concepts, but in a fun creative way. We'll draw characters, environments, objects, weapons, spaceships, game scenes and lots more.
You'll be encouraged to draw without trying to be perfect. Learning to draw concept art is more about conveying your idea than it is about winning art awards!
You can follow along with this course even if you don't have a fancy graphics tablet. Every lecture is suitable for people with paper-and-pencil, as well as those folks who have a digital drawing set up.
