Offered by Skillshare,

Hi There, I'm Ben, an animation director and production artist. Together we're going to go through some of the tips and tricks i've picked up in the many years I've spent drawing and designing for films, comics and games.

You’ll learn how to:

sketch more loosely.
utilise drawing hacks
create line art to die for
colour more efficiently
add details that matter

By the end you will have a better idea on how to level up your drawing skills and be more relaxed when you draw.
This is for intermediate learners who have some knowledge of photoshop.
