<Step1>Input the drawing flow and basic knowledge, and learn the basics of composition

In this digital illustration course, we will start with a lecture on the basic knowledge you need to know when drawing eye-catching digital illustrations and how to “prepare” for drawing pictures.

Then, around the time I began to want to move my hands... I began drawing motifs while learning the basic ideas of composition such as “golden ratio,” “oblique composition,” and “one-point perspective.” Let's be able to get a solid composition through the work of taking a rough composition, applying perspective, and correcting it.

<Step2>Acquire know-how to finish illustrations with light and dark effects

Once you have acquired the basic knowledge of digital illustration production up to this point, it's time to start the lesson for drawing “a picture with light and dark effects,” which is also the subject of this illustration course.

You will learn how to think about light/dark ratios and paint using the Grisaille drawing method, and learn it while moving your hands.

You will thoroughly practice important essences, such as how to roughly add light and dark, how to choose colors, and how to draw.

<Step3>Use what you've learned to draw a charming one-piece picture with light, dark, and composition

To finish the class, I will draw a one-piece picture from scratch using what I've learned so far. First, you will start by thinking about setting a theme for a one-piece picture, and then you will acquire practical know-how, such as collecting materials according to the theme.

Next, we will perform a series of processes together with the creator, such as taking a composition → drawing a large rough outline → taking a perspective and filling the rough → drawing a line drawing.

From there, I add light and dark, paint with the Grisaille method, draw, and finish the one-piece picture while also learning how to make final adjustments such as blur and noise.

<Message from the Creators> I will try classes where you can improve your “painting” skills and find your own unique way to draw

Nice to meet you, my name is Togarashi.

I usually draw, and I think I face various problems, such as “colors don't go well,” “the screen/composition is unfortunate,” and “ideas don't come up.”

In this class, while being close to such concerns, the goal is for those who take the course to acquire know-how and skills that can be applied and developed to drawing methods suitable for each student.

For example, I will also tell you how to save time for each, centering on composition, light/dark ratio, and grisaille drawing method, and how to make the screen look great as much as possible. Also, I would like to mention parts where you don't move your hands, such as ways of thinking and ideas, and aim to improve your overall “painting” skills.

I hope I can have fun drawing illustrations with contrasts and an attractive, glossy feel with all of you, so please take a look.
