Course Contents
You will learn the following:
How to draw impressive illustrations: We will introduce the importance of the main part that is the core of the work, and tips on deciding on the main part by considering the meaning and message of the work. | 
Practical drawing exercises: You can learn through practice, such as practicing how to add shading to monochrome characters and background materials, creating color roughs, and drawing a room based on perspective. | 
Shading patterns Learn various shading patterns using paintings and photographs as reference. Consider the situation setting, whether you want it to look photographic, painterly, or like a scene seen with the naked eye, and you will learn how to create the best shading. |
Coloring techniques: Learn how to place saturation within a motif, how to color using a gradient map, and the effects of tone curves and color balance, and master coloring techniques. | 
How to make a color rough sketch In order to get the hang of coloring, the instructor himself has been practicing "using an eyedropper to extract the colors of a scene from a movie and draw it," and this will help you create a color rough sketch. | 
Perspective Tips Learn the basics of perspective and how to draw outdoors and indoors. You will understand that the message, composition, and effect can change dramatically depending on the viewing angle and how the perspective is applied. |
