Coming up this Sunday is Sketching Clothing & Drapery with Charles Lin!
Join Charles as he takes you though the fundamentals of applying clothing onto characters. In this session, he breaks down the basics of how clothing drapes over objects, and the folds it creates when put under tension. As with all his demos, you can expect Charles to break the material into simple geometric shapes, making clear the understanding of how the clothing sits on-top of the characters.

The much requested Animal Construction video with Charles Lin is here! The lesson at the core of this session is learning how to see, analyze, understand, and construct organic forms. In order to do this, we will focus on key principals that will make that process easier - using basic shapes that are easy to draw and understand, as well as using perspective which will result in a clearer construction of the drawing.
Pledge by August 15th for access to this 3-hour session!

Coming out next week is Foundation Sketching: Architectural Design Part 2, with Charles Lin. In the refinement phase of designing, there is much more than simply cleaning up your drawing to a pretty line drawing. It also involves resolving design problems!
Resolving your design involves tackling items such as: scale, proportions, set dressing, functionality, materials, as well as selling the clarity of the design.

Michael Shinde is joining us this month for some architectural thumbnail exploration!
Learn Michael's process for designing thumbnails based on real world reference and how he integrates his own design taste inside of them. After creating multiple facade variations, Michael heads over to blender for a rapid 3/4 block-out - which he then takes back into Photoshop to elaborate on the design and have a perspective interpretation of one of the thumbnails ready for review.
