Description
In this exciting step-by-step intermediate charcoal class, we will be exploring different textures in charcoal for creating a believable, realistic hummingbird in flight. Specifically focused on bird textures, this class will introduce the newly intermediate charcoal enthusiast to a wide range of skills that can be applied widely to a variety of other subjects.The teacher will walk you thru each step carefully and thoroughly from very start to very finish, explaining the why and how behind each line and layer. You will learn several skills, or practice ones you may already have such as:Scaling an image from a smaller reference to a larger drawingHow to apply different kinds of charcoal in a way that is measured to create maximum resultsHow to manipulate charcoal and charcoal tools to replicate believable, natural textures such as the rough patchiness of bird feathers, the hard sharpness of the beak, the shiny little eye and the motion blur of the wingsHow to manage charcoal to produce matching values so the different areas of your drawing work together to form a cohesive, three-dimensional image.You will enjoy this class and gain a lot from it if you have some experience with charcoal but wish to develop your skills further and gain new techniques to add to your repertoire.
