TIMELESS SKILLS
No previous drawing knowledge is required.
In this course I will take you through an exploration of drawing with ink. I will teach you about many of the popular tools of the trade (pens, inks, and brushes) and weigh popular brands against each other with real demos so you can decide which tools suit your style best.
I will then demonstrate how to create crisp pen lines and teach you how to become a skillful at popular pen techniques such as hatching, crosshatching, stippling, line weights, and washes. I will show you how to draw ink lines over my simple cartoon characters to get you into the groove so you can get a grasp of things before getting too complex. Once I have gotten you to the point where you are familiar with the inking process on paper I have included a digital inking section where I use Photoshop to create inked lines. If you love color, I have added a bonus section to show you how to add digital colors to your lines (whether you did them on paper or Photoshop) and add that all-familiar shading style seen in anime, known as cel-shading. You won't find this anywhere else!
To sweeten the deal, I have provided an ebook for you with this course that includes exercise worksheets to boost your skills.
By the end of this course you will be able to create an inked piece of art that has an unmistakable finished quality!
DRAWING IS A TEACHABLE SKILL!
I will prove to you that there are rules to drawing that apply 100% of the time and when you begin compounding these easy "No Guess" principles you will find your artwork will get immediately better, even if you can only draw a stick man right now!
The info in my courses is timeless and will never go out of date. One thing I can say for certain is that talent is NOT everything, but like anything else, practice is a KEY ingredient in your success!
I WILL give you everything you need to begin on the right track towards becoming good at this!

Very thorough and informative. Thanks for the printouts, also. They were fun to work on. Deducted a half star for the toilet flushing and coughing in the background (LOL).

Although four stars is supposed to mean "what I expected," I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for this course. (It WAS good, though.) I'd taken two of Kevin Gardin's other courses and he has a very relaxing, self-effacing manner that puts the student at ease. But when I signed up for the course, I expected most of the work to be done with physical pens, brushes, and ink, and the first half of the course reinforced that impression. Really, though, the student would ideally need a pressure-sensitive tablet to get the most out of the last quarter of this course. I think I'll come back to it when I am a little further along in my art studies; I'm just not in that place quite yet.
