Knowing Your Tools
In this first module we start with a discussion of the tools needed to create illustrations on pencil and paper. Everything from blending stumps to drawing markers are discussed so you understand the tools you need to create beautiful illustrations.
One-Point Perspective
This starts your journey in perspective drawing. This simple technique will unlock dimension in your work and give you an understanding of how to break out from flat 2d work.
Two-Point Perspective
Now that you’ve mastered one-point, it’s time to broaden your horizons and learn two-point perspective. This powerful approach to create 3d illustrations is a foundational concept you must understand.
Three-Point Perspective
This will complete you knowledge of perspective drawing. Although not commonly used in motion design, this technique is essential for advanced storyboarding and illustration.Â
Shading, Light & Shadow
Now that you’re drawing with proper dimension in your work, it’s time to turn on the lights. This module is dedicated to teaching you the fundamentals of light, shadow and shading falloff.Â
