via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Hello and welcome to this class where we will be exploring five techniques that will help you to improve your composition in an instant!

This class is great for both:

  • accomplished artists who are struggling with composition, and
  • beginners who are new to drawing.

We are not going to be creating finished pieces in the lessons themselves - instead we will be practicing useful compositional techniques that you can take with you throughout your drawing career.

The materials we will need are simple:

  • Something to draw ON
  • Something to draw WITH
  • SOMETHING to draw!

For your project: Create a finished piece or a draft drawing that uses one of the techniques explored in this class.

Any of my own examples of work can be found on my Etsy and Folksy store:

Work from other artists is cited and credited, and used only for examples of techniques shown in this class.
