Throughout the duration of this tutorial we'll be sketching six different action poses, and we'll spend a couple of lessons sketching and breaking down each pose to bring it to life. For each action pose we'll begin by visualizing any story-telling elements that might be associated with the action taking place. From there, we'll focus on sketching in lines of action to establish movement and fluidity with the form. Following this, we'll block in simple shapes to nail down the final pose. Once we've sketched our rough pose, we'll begin to sketch in additional details to build up the form and add volume. Along the way we'll discuss how we can take these additional details to push the action of the pose even further. By exploring how we can break down and sketch these action poses, you'll be able to explore sketching your own action poses with more confidence while having a lot of fun.

• Capturing the appeal of any character than connects with an audience can be a real challenge especially when it comes to animals. In this tutorial we will reference a variety of animal images and explore how we can sketch appealing characters based on them. We'll begin each project by blocking out the form of the animal with simple shapes that will support their personality. Along the way we'll be considering various factors that can help develop appealing qualities of a character. Which each character we'll discover how we can exaggerate and humanize certain attributes that can connect and relate with an audience. After watching this training you'll be inspired to think differently about creatively designing your own animal characters with appeal. Software required: Photoshop CC 14.0.

• Throughout these lessons, we will learn how to refine a rough automotive concept design sketch into a polished illustration in Photoshop. Using basic tools in Photoshop, elements from photographs and textures and logos, we will create a compelling design that shows off awareness of form and acknowledges function. By the end of this tutorial you will be able to effectively introduce light, shadow, and reflections that will bring flat ideas to life. Software required: Photoshop CS6.
