All about Light and Color
Hello, I'm Monable, an illustrator. I have been teaching character drawing and illustration at Propic Academy for 5 years. While teaching students, I have developed my own curriculum by thinking a lot about how to build up the basic skills of coloring and improve the quality of painting. And I'm going to share that know-hows in this class.
Do you somehow get to rough sketch, but don't like your drawing after coloring it? Do you want to be good at using light but don't know how? Don't worry, let's learn all about light and color together.
A World of Light and Color!
Learn Color, Saturation and Brightness Thoroughly
How can we make our art more colorful? Together, let's create your own color palette by getting to know the color wheel. People who find it difficult to use color usually use color without being aware of what color they are using. But if you know what colors you use and how you use them, your drawing will become much more colorful.
Create a color palette and practice using a variety of colors while understanding the flow of color, saturation, and brightness. Let's try it. Especially if you use a lot of color variations, you will be able to draw pictures with more beautiful colors.
We will also learn about the difficult theory and application of light and color. Through this, you will be able to express the effects and colors of various environments. The moment you experience the magic of light and color, you will start enjoying illustration. You can arrange light and shadow as you want and freely use it as a tool for storytelling.
Using the Angle of the Face and the Direction of Light
Draw in Three Dimensions
We're going to go over ways to create high-quality drawings from basic theory to practice techniques for those who want to learn coloring thoroughly. In particular, this class will teach you the solid coloring method of semi-realistic drawings. You can also try casual or realistic drawings based on this coloring method.
Thanks to my coloring method of strong basic skills and my attractive color expression, I was able to continue to work steadily as a freelancer. In addition to growing solid basic skills, I'll even show you how to add light and attractive colors.
Trendy and Popular Faces
Above all else, the part that catches the eye in the picture is the face. If you draw an attractive face, you can quickly catch the eye of the viewer.
In order to draw an attractive face, you must first know which faces you find beautiful and cool. For a long time, I have been studying trends and the likes of the public in this matter. I'll explain the facial proportions, depiction of eyes, and shade on the nose that I find attractive.
To do that, I'm going to start by teaching you the structure of the face through facial sculpting and adding shade structurally. I'll also teach you all the ways to make the skin tone richer and more beautiful.
Glazing, Don't Struggle Anymore.
When it comes to glazing coloring, you find it difficult and complicated, right? Don't worry about this either. I'll be with you step by step on glazing.
The reason why glazing is difficult for beginners is because it's hard to adjust black and white contrast, or because they are inexperienced with using tools to add colors. In my class, I'll teach you in detail how to add black and white contrast and colors effectively. Also, let's learn how to fix turbid colors after glazing!
Tips on Editting to Make Your Drawings Stand Out Even More!
I will show you my method of editting that enhances the sense of depth of the drawing and makes it more attractive when the drawing looks flat.
Living As a Creator,
A Guide to Continuous Creation
When do you find it difficult to draw? We face difficulties when drawing. But if you know how to overcome that, the slump could be much shorter.
I'll also share all the know-how I've gained through various experiences of working as a freelancer for 5 years, such as how to use social media, how I got a job, how to endure the slump and how I can earn a living through continuous creation. Let's think of drawing as a fun adventure rather than a demanding task. I'll be your guide to the right path so you can enjoy your adventures. So, shall we start this illustration class?
