Explore dynamic new ways of inking that will help you fill your sketchbook pages with images you wouldn’t envision in your wildest dreams.
If you’ve been feeling a little stifled or stale with your mark-making, get ready because in this course professional illustrator and teacher David Habben blows up all preconceptions you might have about the proper way to use a brush or pen.
David reminds us there are no perfect marks and that as we improvise, work faster, erase less, commit to choices and adapt to what happens we will grow as artists.
This course will help you develop solid inking fundamentals while simultaneously pushing the boundaries to help you find new ways to put pen to paper. David even takes us into photoshop for a lesson on adding style and character and shows us how to embellish and fine tune our images in a digital workspace.
In this class you will learn:
- Inking fundamentals using brushes and nibs
- Why ink is a great medium to use
- How to erase less, adapt more, and grow as an artist
- How to create dynamic shapes
- How to use abstraction and intention to create unique work
