Creating an Illustration
Class | This class is completed
This class will focus on the development of a creative idea into a strong visual logic. One of the greatest challenges for an artist is when they have to combine several pieces of reference and/or imaginary into a seamless illustration. This class will address creating an appropriate point of view for an image as well as placing characters and objects into the appropriate perspective. Students will learn how to compose and shoot photo reference correctly. Basic perspective, composition, and creative techniques will be amongst the tools gained in this class that make it very important for those just starting out. In addition more advanced concepts like lighting and dynamic camera angles make this class great for the student looking to improve their portfolio.
- Supplies will be addressed at the first class meeting.
