Do you want to learn more about drawing volume and shading using a fun project?
Then this class is for you!
You will learn about volume and how to shade by illustrating a fresh tropical fruit cocktail!
You will learn:
How to shade using the five volumes (shapes) method
How to use the surface grid
How to work with the light sources
How you can combine the shapes to draw anything you imagine
This method is well known in the art industry and it is considered an effective approach to drawing and painting because you can use these volumes (shapes) or combinations of them to draw anything you imagine.
In the first part, you will be practicing shading with values using the basic shapes, so you get better and more confident when illustrating your own projects and drawing more complex subjects and scenes.
In the second part, you will dive in into illustrating the project for the class – your own tropical fruit cocktail, shading with colors.
I’ll be using Procreate, but feel free to use any other digital drawing software or traditional media.
Basic Procreate knowledge is helpful but not necessary for this class as I will guide you through it.
So without further ado, let’s start.
See you in the class.
