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.

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.
So what topics will we cover?
We’ll start with learning the basic fundamentals of Stroke, Shape, Size and Shade. Lot's of practice creating quirky video game objects such as weapons, cars, castles and more.
Then, while still learning the fundamentals, we'll have some fun creating characters, learning dimensions, posing and more.
Then on 3D SHAPES to build-up an isometric drawing, your first foray into the third dimension.
We’ll teach you one and two point perspective, along with saturation techniques to give a sense of DEPTH.
Building on what we’ve learnt, we practice flowing shapes into one-another to create natural looking FORM.
Along the way you’ll learn ADVANCED techniques including pose, shading, lighting, stroke thickness and more.
Each step of the way you'll be asked to use your creativity to draw things which are interesting to you, not just trying to replicate exactly what the instructor is drawing.

I started learning blender in the late 90’s and started using it for some motion graphics work for a small film company that I ran.
I went into teaching which was meant more as a backup option when the film work was not so regular. The teaching gradually took over and I have been teaching now for around 15 years. I moved into teaching games design 6 years ago which rekindled my excitement for 3D animation. I then started to find bits and pieces of freelance work and created my youtube channel Gabbitt Media.
Since then my channel has over 450,000 subscribers and I have worked on game models for the game Atlas Empires along with many other interesting projects from engineering to 3d printing.
