Each class will begin with a 15 minute warmup sketch. Then we will do a simple step by step drawing with thorough explanation together to introduce some simple drawing techniques including 1st class - How to break down complicated characters into simple geometric shapes 2nd class - How to build archetypal characters based on varying base shapes 3rd class - How to use overlapping shapes to create the illusion of life 4th class - Rendering shading and values 5th class - Drawing forms in 3D space and adding volume. 6th class - Simple tricks like adding line weight to enhance your drawings. I will briefly explain what strategies I am using to break down the illustration into different steps, but students will spend most of the class drawing and trying the techniques for themselves. Students may draw in any style they choose, but we will refer to images from famous anime art including Shonen anime art like Naruto, Demon Slayer, and Neon Genesis Evangelion, and video game art like Genshin Impact. If students like the class there will be another class with more techniques for them to learn immediately following they can register for. That class will focus more on visual storytelling and character development. Students will be encouraged to collaborate and work on stories together using each other’s characters in teams.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Shaun D. McMillan. I teach creative art classes and classes on how to start a business. I graduated with a degree in Animation in the city of Los Angeles, California and have worked as a professional animator, graphic designer, web designer, and game artist at various studios. In 2012 I became a high school teacher teaching various different computer art courses including Graphic Design and Game Design classes for a total of seven years. After realizing the potential of Game Based Learning I worked together with my high school students to create multiple political science simulations and educational games, including, “ALLIANCE The Ultimate World Leader Political Science Simulation Megagame,” in which 72 participants are given 4 hours to solve a simulation of all the world’s geopolitical problems. I now create YouTube videos, publish games, draw, and write graphic novels.Reviews
