School of Visual Storytelling

This class will prepare you for more advanced classes such as "Painting textures with WIll Terry" and Digital Painting 2.

How the class works: 

In this class Lee will give you both "in-class" assignments as well as bigger homework assignments. Each of these assignments has been made to build a step by step approach to painting. Each assignment builds on the one before it.

Class Requirements: 

Fast Internet connection This is an online class so internet connectivity is essential. Class instruction and demos are viewable for online streaming but will not be downloadable. 

Photoshop is best, but similar programs will work (procreate, etc). All demos will be in photoshop, but the techniques will transfer to any painting software. (Note: Lee will not be answering specific technical problems  in any software except Photoshop).

- Tablet or Cintiq: You will need a stylus and a tablet or Cintiq to be able to do the exercises in this class.

Drawing Skill: You should have a basic understanding of how to draw. Watch Jake Parker's "How to Draw Everything" video if you haven't already done so. The requirements here are basic. We won't be doing any perspective intensive exercises or anything, but you should feel comfortable drawing basic shapes, etc.

Dates:  Tuesdays starting Jan. 22

Class Time: The video instruction for this class will be available on Tuesdays at 9am Central Time (USA). You can watch the videos at any point which is convenient. 

Critiques: You will upload your work to the class site and I will do a video crit of your work. Video critiques will be uploaded late in the day on Tuesdays.
