Class Experience
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN IN-DEPTH, MULTI-WEEK FLEX CLASS, COVERING STEP-BY-STEP TECHNIQUE AND TOOL INSTRUCTION. THERE ARE NO LIVE CLASSES. PLEASE READ BELOW TO SEE EACH WEEK’S CONTENT*** This class DOES NOT require any prerequisites since the principles/techniques needed to complete the class are taught DURING the lesson*** Week 1: During the first week students will create the body, head, arms, legs and tail, using quick shape and liquify techniques. Week 2: The second week is all about the face elements, and learning how to work with symmetry, using advanced canvas technology. Week 3: The third week introduces students to a unique pixel-based-selection process, followed by contour-lighting of each element, to create an amazing 3D effect. Week 4: The final week focuses on fine details, such as the claws, whiskers, and the creation of water using highlights, layer opacity, and selective trimming. OPTIONAL***Procreate Tool Challenge*** Mr. Niven has hidden a Procreate tool, in each lesson. After each lesson, when you’ve found the hidden tool, you can tell the class which tool it was, and help the other students know when and where to look for it, in the video. If you find all 4 Procreate Tools, and can provide proper descriptions of each tool’s use, Mr. Niven will unlock a FREE BONUS DRAWING! Happy finding, and happy drawing!
Other Details
Supply List
Students MUST have Procreate downloaded prior to class. This class can be done on either iPad or iPhone, and Mr. Niven recommends using a stylus that supports pressure sensitivity for best results, but is NOT required to complete the class. For best results with brushes, and added control, Mr. Niven HIGHLY recommends Apple Pencil, as it is BY FAR the best stylus for iPad. Two other brands of stylus Mr. Niven recommends are Wacom Bamboo Fineline or Sketch, and Adonit. Both brands support pressure sensitivity on iPad and iPhone. For more information on software and hardware, including information about Procreate, as well as compatibility, and recommendations for various iPads, or iPhones and styli that support Procreate, please consider enrolling in Mr. Niven’s Digital Art Orientation, for Students and Parents.
