From inspiration to composition, sketch and final result, you will convey a mini story in your very own illustrated ‘movie moment’. To achieve this, we will follow these steps:

• Taking inspiration in films and/or your own photographs to observe what makes a good scene.


• Using your own reference images to build your illustration.


• Thumbnailing a composition through simple shapes and lines.


• Trialling character positions and object placements whilst sketching.
  


• Using digital brushes to detail your final linework and adding texture.
  


• Picking a limited colour palette


• Sectionalising areas in your illustration to colour, considering foreground and background.

This class is aimed at anyone with a proficient level in drawing, wishing to expand their skills in visual narrative and composing a detailed scene. It’s applicable to all areas of illustration, including: comics, children’s books, editorial or prints.
