Would anybody like some art classes?
14 years ago
I've been tossing this idea around most of the morning and decided I'd throw this out there to see what kind of response I get.
Since I have a Livestream account, I'm considering doing a series of 1 hour long FREE art classes. Just for fun and for the sake of helping out fellow artists since a lot of people ask me how I do this or that.
I could cover things like basic drawing 101, inking, anatomy, cloth, hair, shading, special effects, comics...whatever you guys would like to see. I learn best by using tips and tricks, so I teach in the same manner.
But before I go through all that, I wanted to see if anyone would show up.
So if you or anybody you know might be interested, please point them to this journal post and have them give me a comment.
Some questions to answer:
- What do you want to learn about?
- What days are good for you to log on and view?
- What times are best for you?
I'll take the general consensus and work with that. I apologize heavily in advance if it turns out I have to pick a time/day that does not work for you. I will be recording the sessions and posting them for anybody to look at later at their convenience. I will also be answering questions, so if you have a burning question for me to answer, I will happily read them and cover them "on air" for you.
Again, this will 100% free.
Please give me your feedback!

I fyou do record them would be post a journal or somthing after the session to let us know it was recorded?
* Body types, or how to make your characters look like normal people and not all looks like they were traced out of an Ambercrombie magazine.
* Size Matters! How to make things on your character look large, but not look ridiculous. (Hair, guns, swords and the like... you perv!)
* I'm not a tracer! Inking and finishing to complete a picture, more than just outlining. Where to apply thicker and thinner lines.
And, well, my schedule is all over the place, so... really there isn't such a thing as a good day :(
thanks LT!

Showing up for the actual recording would depend entirely on when you record them (as whether my lap top is still being glitchy). ^^;
It's been ages since I actually drew something other than a few cubes in the margin of a notebook.... "Basic drawing 101" would definitely appeal -- start simple, and work up to the more advanced stuff.
As for time -- if it's only an hour long, start any time up to roughly midnight BST/GMT. So that's about 6PM EST if my hazy timezone math hasn't failed me...!
One thing I would ask -- if you do these as Livestreams (or Ustream, or whatever) then record them. It'd be nice to replay previous lessons and catch up, or just re-watch bits that don't quite make sense until they.. well.. make sense.
