Sketching With Markers: Draw a Sweet Cupcake
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
In my new class, I’ll share with you the step-by-step process of making nice marker illustration of a cupcake.
First, we’ll have detailed talk about materials you’ll need, about markers, paper, and additional stuff, about different manufacturers, ways you can save your money, and things to consider before and while drawing.
Then I’ll show you some basic techniques you should know to work with professional markers.
And finally, we’ll go through the whole drawing process from pencil sketch to fine detail illustration of a cupcake.
This class is perfect for you if you don’t know where to start with markers, don’t know what manufacturer to choose, how many markers and colors you’ll need to start, or maybe you just want to create a nice cupcake illustration.
In this class, I’ll use alcohol-based markers.Of course, you can use your favorite tools, like watercolors or color pencils for example, and you are free to mix them, it’ll be very interesting what you'll come up with.
