Objective: We will explore different techniques in lineart, shading, and coloring on a digital software platform. Due to the advanced nature of this class- it is highly recommended students that enroll are already familiar with drawing digitally. 

How?
I will be demonstrating within the Paint SAI software via a Wacom tablet, however students can use similar programs and tablets. Learners will be able to list their favorite pokemon in the welcome email-from there I will pick the most popular choices to use as subjects in this class. While it is recommended students follow along with the same instructor pokemon, they can use a different pokemon but will have to adapt the skills we explore for their particular subject. 

In class:
Class will begin with a quick 5 minute warm up sketch
Linearting (approx. 20 mins): learning how to utilize stabilizer/density features for smoother lines 
Coloring (approx. 10 mins): jumping into developing color pallets and deciding tones for our subject
Shading (approx. 20 mins): manipulating different layers and opacity features to create shadows within our subjects

Student engagement: Students will be able to engage with each other with pokemon based discussions and sharing drawings.
