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 start drawing the moose, focusing on shape, color, and texture. Week 2: In the second week students will illustrate the the details of the moose, like eyes, eyelids, mouth, teeth, props, clothing and fur. Week 3: The third week focuses on fine details, such as 2D lighting, texture, and boarders, which will help provide element separation, and focus. Week 4: The final week is all about scenery, including the field, trees and bushes, shadows, and puddle. Optional Activity: This class also includes a fun PROCREATE TOOL CHALLENGE! Mr. Niven has hidden a Procreate tool, in each lesson. For each lesson, students can recognize the hidden tool, tell the class which tool it was, and describe the tool’s function. All students can submit multiple definitions, as each tool can operate in multiple ways. The more students involved the better. If your class finds all 4 Procreate Tools, and can provide proper descriptions of each tool’s use, Mr. Niven will unlock a FREE BONUS DRAWING! Again, to help ensure the definitions are correct, the other students can help add additional information on a tools function, or help correct another students submission. Mr. Niven can also provide individual feedback using the Outschool classroom via posts, including chat AND the recording feature if desired. This is great for students as it provides more visual connection with Mr. Niven. 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 though Mr. Niven recommends using a stylus that supports pressure sensitivity for best results in general, it is NOT required to complete this class. If shopping for a stylus, especially 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.
