Drawing Animals: The Basics of Character Design

Offered By: Skillshare

Course Description

Overview

I'm going to show you how to improve your animal drawings from the ground up. Animals can seem complicated to draw and tough to get right, but i'll show you how to see the animals as shapes and forms, which will help you create amazing animal drawings and fun, memorable character designs.

I'll be using Procreate 5x on 1st Gen Ipad Pro, but feel free to use any application you're comfortable with! I'll also include a link to my Favs Brush Pack: drugfreedave.com/brushes
