Here’s what you’ll learn

Lesson 1: Understanding Sketching

Explore several sketching techniques and learn why each can solve a separate design problem. Each sketching style has a unique, yet simple process. You’ll also learn the importance of organizing reference material, along with understanding its uses.

Lesson 2: Sketching Natural Environments

To sketch a natural environment, you must first see it as a shape, then as form, and finally as texture. By studying these elements, you will learn to combine them into a useful production sketch. Aaron will demonstrate his technique to quickly render any organic subject matter with ease.

Lesson 3: Sketching Hard Surface Environments

Sketching hard-surface objects is much simpler than you might have imagined. You’ll learn solid perspective skills to set up your scene, and the discipline to stick to these guidelines. Aaron will demo a complex environment using the same foundations covered in the lesson.

Lesson 4: Designing a Complex Scene

Using the skills you’ve studied in the previous lessons, you’ll learn to create a complex environment sketch. Aaron’s final demonstration will combine natural elements, and even characters to add scale and life to the scene. Even considering the complexity of the final image, the process remains as simple as ever.
