Are you a fan of colored pencil drawing, but aren't sure where to begin? This introductory course will help younger students practice fundamental colored pencil techniques, and also create a fun miniature drawing during each class! Each week we'll introduce a new skill, and then use that skill to create a small drawing. Most students will complete their drawing during class, however more some artists may wish to spend a little more time to finish. Practicing these techniques will provide a strong foundation for younger students to build upon as they continue creating beautiful drawings! What skills will we practice during class? I'm glad you asked! Week 1: Color saturation & textures--- (project: Five Fingers) Week 2: Light-to-dark shading--- (project: Twisted Ribbon) Week 3: Color blending--- (project: Sunset Silhouettes) Week 4: 3D shading: highlights & shadows--- (project: Jellybean Creatures) ***************************************** If you're new to Outschool you can follow this link for some handy tips to get started! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1k0xR4oZLyBipJ1w4HtgeTq9Ok7qD9JB3tL_x5KpdpUw/edit?usp=sharing This class is also available as a summer camp!
