Illustrating the Figure and Facial Features Continued

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, you will continue learning to illustrate facial features by breaking down the nose and lips into basic shapes and forms and rendering using light and shadow. Ron Husband will then teach you to turn a figure sketch into an illustration. You will discover how to build up from the underlying skeleton and muscle structures into a final clothed figure drawing.

This lesson belongs to the course Quick Sketching for Illustration and Animation. In this 11-week course, join legendary Disney animator Ron Husband as he takes you on an exciting journey through the art of Quick Sketching and its application through the disciplines of illustration and animation. Ron will teach you the importance of observation from life, helping you distill visual information into lines and basic shapes. You’ll explore methods to rapidly sketch people and animals using fundamental tools and principles of anatomy, balance, proportion, gesture, and storytelling. Ron will then guide you in applying these principles to bring your sketches to life through illustration and animation. This course is ideal for artists looking to enhance their sketching, drawing, and visual storytelling abilities.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
