Event Phone: 412-968-5858

Instructor

Hannah Farester

Details

They say that if you can draw a human, you can draw anything, which is exactly what we plan to do! This 6 week course will begin with setting up a skeletal gesture and integrating dynamic perspective and primitive shapes, before moving on to drawing techniques and manga stylization. We will focus on all of the features separately, including facial features, feet and hands. The students will learn to create a complex character that is anatomically correct, drawn in in perspective, and personalized to the student’s conceptualization. By the end of the course, the students will have gained a solid foundation for further exploration in character design and the human form.

Materials

Course materials are included in the price of the class.
