Drawing with Ink for Illustration 1W24
Develop techniques and skills using a variety of ink media to draw both the realistic and the fanciful. Shade with traditional pen and ink hatching. Create dynamic, bold visions with brush and develop rich, vibrant renderings with ink washes. This is an intermediate class; some life and figure drawing experience are recommended.
Limit 8 students
I took this class because I wanted to learn a new skill and get tips from a seasoned professional. I thought this class was excellent! I really enjoyed the slides showcasing other artists' work using the techniques to be taught that day.
I wanted to improve my pen drawing and liked that Jerel taught us how to use different pens and brushes and ultimately let us choose what we wanted to use for our bigger project.
