Learn the artform of sketching environments in front of you. Wether you sit in your room, travel on a train or hang out at a cozy cafe. The key to draw anything you want in compelling scenes is perspective. In this video-course I will teach you what you need to know, to draw with confidence and joy, wherever and whatever this might be!
What you will learn:
Theory
In the first section of the course we will cover important perspective fundamentls. I will explain the meaning and usage of fundamental terms like “horizon line”, “vanishing points” and “perspective grids".
Then we will dive into the different types of perspectives, from one point - to five point perspective. I will explain how you construct each of them and utilize them on a practical usecase. Along the way I will give you helpful tips and tricks on how and when to apply each of them.
Materials
I will give you advice on the vast world of different materials you can use for sketching. You will get an in-depth analysis on my personals picks of choice and how and when to use them.
Practice
With the new learned knowledge it is time to apply it in real life situations. In three different locations, I will guide you through my drawing drawing process, from start to finish - full of tips and helpful advice!
