Infusing Stories into Illustrations Through Composition
DENN believes that the essence of an illustration lies in “illustrating” how the imagined situation excites the illustrator as best as possible. In this class, she will share how to set the goal you want to achieve through an illustration, as well as tips for choosing the composition, values, and colors that suit your goal.
Worldbuilding Basics for Illustrations
Even a beautifully staged illustration can lose its impact if the figure drawing or perspective feels off. This course teaches accurate figure drawing and perspective knowledge to ensure your compositions remain believable and compelling.
Detailed and Beautiful Texture Rendering for Each Motif
Learn techniques for rendering different materials such as metal, glass, wood, and fabric. For beginners, DENN explains simple methods that look impressive, while advanced learners can follow more detailed techniques for highly refined rendering. This two-tiered approach will allow you to learn at your own pace.
