Drawing Insects, Tropical Animals, and Color Demonstration

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, instructor Charles Hu will teach you how to create lay-in drawings of insects and tropical animals using a variety of drawing tools. Then, you will learn to sketch with color, specifically in gouache. Charles will show you how he loosely lays in the drawing, paints the overall color, and adds temperature shifts.

This lesson belongs to the course Visual Development: Dynamic Sketching. In this 12-week course, Charles Hu will teach you the core fundamentals of dynamic sketching. You will learn to focus on gesture, shape, and structure while drawing various subjects. Charles will first introduce you to the materials needed for the course and give you basic drawing exercises that will help strengthen your hands’ muscle memory. From there, you will learn to manipulate organic, geometric shapes and add surface details. Charles will demonstrate drawing animal skeletons, marine animals, insects, landscapes, cars, and many more. In addition, you will explore sketching in colors using gouache. After this course, you will develop an ability to break down any 3D subject into a 2D structure, and from there, draw with confidence.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.

If anyone has had trouble with this video loading.  Know you are not alone. I have another friend having the same issue.  I finally had to switch out of the Beta version to get it to play.  I am using Microsoft edge as the browser. Hope this helps others
