About

Every session or so, we'll cover a new topic that will help you get a good understanding of the fundamentals behind drawing people (or characters) in semi realistic and other styles (such as webcomics).

What we will work on:
- Gesture and Figure drawing (dynamic poses)
- Heads (planes of the face, features and expressions)
- Simplified Colouring and Shading (digitally)
- Stylization (comics/manga styles)

For getting started, all you need is a pencil and some paper. Watercolours and digital drawing software such as IbisPaint/Krita will be needed later in the course for sessions covering digital art.

Having a greater understanding of the world gives me the ability to enjoy it better. Madhyama Purna in Hindustani Classical Music (Distinction). I like books ( fiction and philosophy), comics, movies and tv shows. Figure skating enthusiast. Looking forward to more learning!

No strict attendance policy, but all proceeding sessions will be based on skills we've covered before.
