Join Alex and local South Australian cosplayer @cheshrae for this new 2x Saturday course. Designed especially for artists who enjoy working from life and pop culture references.
In the mornings Alex will introduce a range of techniques based in historical approaches & drawing techniques. You’ll utilise dramatic Baroque style lighting, look closer into composition and developing your own personal drawing style. Then in the afternoons you’ll have the opportunity to apply the techniques to drawing Cheshrae as she sits in full cosplay. Starting with a handful of short poses you’ll then spend the majority of the time working on one longer drawing that allows you to capture the artistry in her cosplay.
Discover classical approaches to creating portrait compositions and dramatic tonal ranges while capturing likeness and detail.
Learn more about drawing fabric folds, clothing and drapery both on and around the figure and how this can be used to enhance classical compositional design.
Sketch Kit (pencils, erasers, charcoal (optional), coloured pencils/pastels (optional)
White pencil or white conte/pastel pencil
Sketchbook (A4 or A3)
1 sheet of A1 mid-tone paper (can be grey, purple, maroon, or green. Avoid highly saturated colours as these will be too intense for the drawing.)
All other materials are provided
