GSS Gesture Shorthand for Storyboarding

GSS
Thursday 7:00pm - 10:00pm (PST)
8 - Weeks Course

Before every crisp and clear drawing you see in the final storyboard is a necessary step that's often left unseen. If you want to create a great drawing, first you need to be able to properly conceive it!

Nick Leong's Gesture Drawing for Storyboarding class will take you through the various steps required to flesh out your ideas and set yourself up for success. Gesture drawing is the most necessary stage of the drawing process— the playground in which you can build on your excitement and propel yourself forward with the momentum required to hit your deadlines with expressive and exciting drawings. Most of your problems can be solved, most ideas will have their seeds planted, and most of what you can bring to the table will be obvious by the time you've roughed something out.

The more you draw, the better you get. Let's make that process easier!

This class is intended to teach basic fundamentals, but in a way that is beneficial to all skill levels.
