QUICK SKETCHING 1



• • • • •

The class has four lessons – as noted, full of inspiration, information, tips, demos, exercises and videos, plus each lesson has a BONUS page of links, books, and resources.

You’ll learn a variety of quick sketching techniques, with different mediums – you’ll be able to choose the one that best fits YOU, or discover new ones you’ll love. You’ll have plenty of chance to try them out! We will touch on traditional fast sketching techniques, plus new ways to approach them. We’ll cover a bit on value and form, quickly, as well. Mini-videos in every lesson explore right along with you.


And best of all, this is at your convenience, in your own time.

You’ll have a blast! And, with any class, online or otherwise, you’ll get out of the lessons what you put into them.
Judging from the enthusiasmlevel of most of my students, that’s a lot!

The lessons will be automatically delivered to the email address you sign up with. Whatever address you use for PayPal, be sure to check, that’s where your lessons will be sent.

System Requirements: Lessons are in PDF format and Adobe Reader X is required. Whatever device you use to view the lessons must meet Adobe Reader’s system requirements.

All this for $30!
