    Hi Patrick! I have a question, you have definetely internalized the process of laying a perspective and a composition for your character, do you recommend any specific types of excercises or studies to improve on this? Thanks!!!!

    Lesson Plan

    Lesson 1

    Building Blocks

    In this first Lesson, you will learn what makes a good sequence illustration. Patrick will begin by taking you through the key terms used when describing your art, as well as the tools you'll use to craft your scenes. Then you'll go through the underlying concepts involved in telling compelling stories with your images. Finally, you will build your own concept and gather reference material to begin your painting.
