Design Basics 2: Shape

If your goal is concept art or illustration, shape is your secret weapon.  Unlike classical drawing, you’re not just reproducing what you see.  Design Basics 2 helps bridge the gap from traditional drawing into imaginary illustration.    This video series explores 7 different approaches for simplifying shape.  Each of these principles is introduced with a drawing demonstration.  Instead of copying photo reference directly, you’re bending, exaggerating, twisting, and simplifying reality toward your own designs.  Finally, the series concludes with 4 homework assignments specifically designed to prepare you for concept art sketching.
