Building on what you learnt in Part One and Part Two, you will get fully acquainted with your character by drawing their head on the X-Axis, Y-Axis and Z-Axis, adding facial expression and creating a character reference sheet. The valuable reference that you create in this class is guaranteed to save you hours of time and potential mistakes when moving forward with any project.
After completing this series, you will truly know your character, allowing you to move away from the practicalities of how to draw your character correctly, to feeling confident enough to focus on expression and artistic style.
In this class, you will need ...
- your 3D model
- a led pencil, a conté pencil (optional)
- a blue coloured pencil
- an eraser
- a sharpener
- a smudge stick (optional)
- a long ruler
- a large sheet of paper (I used an A2 pad of bank paper)
