Urban Sketching: Express Your World in a New Perspective

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• Then there's a perspective, which ranges from classical to curvilinear.
• Using simple observation skills, practice the cylindrical viewpoint to create curved horizontal lines and the spherical viewpoint (also known as a fisheye viewpoint) to curve both horizontal and vertical lines.
• To warm up your hand and practise Lapin's sketching from observation technique, create a composition of some of your favourite objects and learn how to sketch them.
• Lapin demonstrates how to incorporate storytelling elements into your work, such as speech bubbles, characters, descriptions, and soundtracks, throughout your practical exercises, encouraging you to always be aware of your surroundings when sketching.
• Finally, learn how to publish your sketches on social media and interact with other urban sketchers.
