In this class, students will illustrate a screencap from their favorite movie or TV show in gouache while learning a range of illustration techniques. We'll move together from start to finish, facing the blank page, learning to stylize our sketches, and combining a variety of traditional tools.

We'll review the supplies you need, learn to master gouache consistency, refine a rough sketch into polished line art, and bring everything together to paint characters, backgrounds, and narrative. Your final illustration will be full of texture, detail, and life!

Skills include:

How to use gouache and other traditional media
How to draw anything with a rough sketch and iterative drawing
How to paint large and complicated scenes
How to mix colors and make color choices
How to present your final illustration to your audience

Painting movies is a great exercise for all skill levels, and I'd love for you to join me! No matter what kind of illustration you want to be doing, practicing character, backgrounds, atmosphere, lighting, narrative, and emotion in this class will be invaluable experience. You'll be able to draw anything, use gouache, and feel good about your art-making process.
