Skillshare – Sketching for Surface Designers & Illustrators

Video сourse: Skillshare – Sketching for Surface Designers & Illustrators

Three years ago, I had a realization that the act of sketching was directly responsible for the improvement in my pattern and illustration skills. So I switched from doodling on occasion for fun to utilizing it regularly as a tool to hone my design style, and that’s when I really started to notice a huge improvement in my work.

The class was designed specifically with surface designers and illustrators in mind. It gives you an overview of sketching as a creative practice and how to utilize it to progress your skills, develop your style, and build your creative confidence. During class we'll discuss:

my favorite sketching art supplies
ways to tackle the 3 most common sketching issues
beginner tips for drawing flowers, animals, faces, and lettering
two methods to help you find your signature style
plus best practices for sketching with the final art in mind

If you're just starting out in your career as a surface designer and illustrator, this class is for you. Or if you've been designing for a few years, but still lack confidence in your sketching abilities, my hope is that this class will give you a fresh perspective and motivation to grow as an artist!
