In this class, I will teach you how to sketch and illustrate a character in a scene. From gaming to movies to comic art, my artwork spans medium and is always full of energy and movement, keeping a modern comic art feel.

 Characters in Motion 101: Illustrating Fluid Gestures

Do your characters pose like robots? Turn them human by learning gesture drawing!

Here's a quick definition so we're all clear: A gesture refers to the movement of the human body. A gesture drawing is a quick, simple sketch that captures the motion of a person. 

Whether you're drawing an illustration, a comic, storyboard or painting, how good the end result looks heavily relies on how well the original gesture looks in your draft. To give a character life, you have to show them doing a variety of motions from all sides and angles.

Throughout the lessons, we'll learn what principles we need to draw fluid gestures, and practice sketching them using a timer.

Concept art, game design, character design: they all rely on a solid basic sketch, a sense of color, and line drawing skills. You will learn how to work with strong outlines to hold the artwork together and I will explain my style of colouring, lighting and shading. I will also explain how to use different brush presets to get those nice textures that really bring the picture to life.
