Course Description

Overview

Welcome to my class on Creature Design! In this class you will learn a lot of the valuable techniques and exercise that go into improving your creature design drawings every day. I will walk you step by step through my process for combining various animals into new creative concepts. By studying from existing life you will never have a shortage of ideas.

You will learn how to study the spines of different animals so that you creatures have a solid foundation to work from. You will learn about the benefit of creating thumbnail sketches before working on your next masterpiece! I will show you techniques on creating variations within your concepts. You will also learn about proportions, merging concepts, working from a script, and much more!

This class is focused on just the drawing process and will work for digital and traditional artists alike.

I am excited to teach you these lessons and I hope your excited to learn them. I am here if you have any questions and I would love to know what classes you want to see next! ;)
