Class Experience

This is an ongoing class. Students will sketch a new robot character every week.

Each class will follow the step-by-step process:
1. They will concentrate on rendering the basic shapes of the sketch, then proceed to discover the various relationships between the lines, shapes and proportions of the image.
2. They will learn to use a mixture of loose hatching and cross-hatching techniques to apply sheen on the robot bodies.
3. They will modify the dark tones of the image by both strengthening and blending them with carefully graduated shading.
4. The final step will be to unify the form, tones and texture of the image by deepening the shadows and increasing their contrast.

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they can begin to sketch a multitude of their own robots.
