We’ll work to develop a strong drawing for an imaginative piece based upon an existing story or your own idea.

Topics covered will include composition, brainstorming, thumbnails, research, sketch development, and studies for value and color. Emphasis will be placed on composition, and storytelling.

For the first class please bring a sketchbook, and your drawing tools. If you have a laptop or other device with internet access, you are welcome to bring that too for reference research. Students are welcome to work in the media they are most comfortable. If you have a specific project in mind, please contact me.
