The School of Drawing
Drawing Natural Forms: LINE, SHAPE and FORM
Hey it's great to welcome you to "The School of Drawing". I've put together a host of animations; many films shot in different styles, helpful assignments, and worksheets you can download and use at your leisure. This course is perfect for those of you who are just starting out with drawing, so don't worry if you have no prior experience. I have structured this course on the seven elements of art: Line, Shape, Tone, Form, Space, Colour, Pattern and Texture. This film concentrates on the first three elements of line, shape and form and will enable you to understand these critical elements and be proficient in using them.
Please carry out the homework assignments and post your drawings so I can give you feedback. I find students who put the most effort in and almost go beyond the assignment's expectations make the quickest progress. To take part in this course, I recommend keeping a sketchbook and completing each assignment on a double page. This way you will be able to monitor your progress and have that satisfying feeling of filling up a sketchbook.
I want to turn this natural forms drawing course, into a dynamic club with weekly tutorials and workshops. I've got some exciting new projects coming very soon! So far I have recorded the first three elements Line, Shape and Form. New projects are being added and eventually I will add the other four elements on this course.
Let's get started!
Adobe Photoshop Club for Creatives
Adobe Photoshop Club for Creatives: Beginners to Advanced
This course is for all types of creatives, including hand-drawn illustrators and those seeking professional projects. This course, whatever length you buy it at, is set to grow, and I think of it more of a club than a course, with all the Photoshop classes gradually accumulating in just one place.
Final Major Project
For the final major project, you will create a fallow deer study sheet on a mid-tone paper. Drawing on a mid-tone can help you use a broader range of values; the paper offers the mid-range value for which you can leave open areas and combine with your shading to go both darker and lighter. The spots on a fallow deer, known as "fawns", can range from small circular spots to larger, more irregular shapes. Overlaying artists' quality oily colouring pencils and creating white highlights can help your drawings pop out.
