ブラッドリー先生によるキャラクターデッサン101

Draw along with Teacher Bradley in his Secret Underground Art Lab as he creates an original character illustration, or re-creates an existing character. Develop your drawing skills as we explore interesting poses, clothing textures, and facial expressions. New drawings every class! Any student interested in drawing characters for comics, animation, or illustration will enjoy and benefit from this fun drawing exercise!

Part 1 - The Plan: We briefly work out what it is we want to draw. Teacher Bradley will announce/proclaim the thing that will be drawn over the course of the lesson. (Approx 5 min)

Part 2 - The Sketch: Using light blue or red pencil and a light touch, we will sketch out the pose of the character to be drawn, working out any visual problems that arise while beginning to produce our planned drawing. (Approx 15 min)

Part 3 - The Drawing: We will then go over the final sketch with dark pencil or ink. Here is where most of the instruction on line quality, texture, facial expression, etc will be discussed. The chosen drawing will always focus on one or two of a rotating list of certain core illustration concepts. (Approx 20 min)

Part 4 - Finishing touches and final Q & A: Teacher Bradley will answer any final questions while adding small touches to make the illustration have a more finished feel. (Approx 10 min)

Notes:
~ Teacher will check in with all students at the end of each part of the lesson to ensure everyone is keeping in time with the class.
~ Students are encouraged to ask questions during class, all along the way (ideally questions that are relevant to the step we are on in the illustration process, but any art/illustration-related question will do.)
