Thats cool Muse there is nothing better than an artist who wants to learn on his own way. Nothing wrong with that. Ok Oddguy and Silversnow welcome to my school of professional art and I am your instructor. To start off take what you knew about art and put it to the side. As important as that knowledge is don't truely rely on it. We are going to discuss many subjects in art that I have learned during my college career that is essential to being a professional. Welcom to the field of Graghic design. Don't be scared of the word Graghic Design because its not as hard as you think it is. You should be proud because you are getting a head start on college in a sense.
I am going to cover with you all the basis material you need to know if you want to become an artist in the real world. You are going to learn how to draw in ways you never thought you could do, Your going to learn Pen and Ink technieques, and of course your going to learn how to paint in ways that will satisfy you as a young Illustrator. I want you to have fun with your new found skills. Now it is not maditory that you actually do the stuff I show you but remember if you want to understand how it all works trust me your going to want to practice the knowledge I give you. What I am going to do is PM you everyweek tips and info and then also I will e-mail a special project that if you want to do it you can do it if you don't no sweat don't worry about it. Mainly the project will be done based on what kind info I give you that week.
In other words I would explan how a certain kind of drawing is done professionaly and then I would e-mail you a picture or reference and I would want you to recreate it with the technieque I showed you. Well Thats what I have to say and I am pleased you want to learn this stuff. Ill make sure the projects we do will be fun projects that we all like. There is going to be about 5 projects all together.They are:
Pencil
Pen and Ink
Prisma Color
Water Color painting
Acrylic Painting
But before we get to these there are important facts you need to know about each and I will explane it. Those facts will help you understand the medium better plus help you shop for the best materials out there.
But remember you don't have to do the projects if you don't want to I am just giveing you the practical information and heck if you want I can grade you and there can be an OWF graduation in 12 weeks. Again I thankyou for being intrested and welcome!
Ill take my time with you on these projects its really not a hassel.
