Graphic design, illustration, painting, all of those have their foundation in line making so knowing your lines can be very helpful and making a good foundation is all that this class is about.. It is mostly suited for students with beginner level of knowledge but even more advanced students can find interesting material, especially in the bonus videos.

ASSIGNMENTS

Now it’s time for your project:

Finish watching the course.
Make exercises that are showed in the videos. Post them in the project gallery and I’ll leave a comment as soon as I can. The more you do the better you’ll get at drawing.
Expand from there, keep on drawing new subjects applying stuff that you learned in this class, ask for feedback
Practice, practice, practice.

I would love to see what you came up with and help if you run in to any kind of problem.

DELIVERABLE

Here are the deliverables to share in the project gallery for feedback:

Drawing exercise
Work in progress images
Finished drawing

You don´t have to scan the finished sketching, you can also take a picture with your phone and upload it. If you are scanning it, remember to do it at 300 dpi so you can use it for bigger things later on.

RESOURCES

Reference pictures for creatives

Timed figure drawing

Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things?

Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains. And of course this can be applied to drawing and illustration as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2O6mQkFiiw
