Turn your sketchbook to its next chapter.
Take your traditional ink sketches to a higher level of artistry and personal expression with concept artist Aaron Limonick. This course focuses on bringing multiple subjects and ideas together, teaching you how to build scenes that feel dynamic, cohesive, and fully illustrated. You’ll start by sketching human figures and animals, before moving into more ambitious compositions that mix classical approaches with modern genre sensibilities. Throughout the course, you’ll explore multi-figure scenes, intricate environments, and expressive mark-making that pushes past technical accuracy into true artistic voice. By the end, you’ll have a collection of advanced illustrations that reflect your own style and imagination. This course also comes with a materials guide covering the pens, paper, and tools Aaron recommends.
