Visual Development: Dynamic Sketching
In this 12-week course, instructor Charles Hu will teach you the core fundamentals of dynamic sketching. You will learn to focus on gesture, shape, and structure while drawing various subjects. Charles will first introduce you to the materials needed for the course and give you basic drawing exercises that will help strengthen your hand's muscle memory. From there, you will learn to manipulate organic, geometric shapes and add surface details. Charles will demonstrate drawing animal skeletons, marine animals, insects, landscapes, cars, and many more. In addition, you will explore sketching in color using gouache. After this course, you will develop an ability to break down any 3D subject into a 2D structure, and from there, draw with confidence.

Week 5: Drawing Insects, Tropical Animals, and Color Demonstration With Charles Hu
In week five, Charles will teach you how to create lay-in drawings of insects and tropical animals using a variety of drawing tools. Then, you will learn to sketch with color, specifically in gouache.

Week 6: Drawing Land Animals With Charles Hu
In week six, you will learn to draw land animals while breaking down the structure of their anatomy. You will focus on simplifying the 3D subject into a 2D structure and practice squinting your eyes to group values.

Week 7: Drawing Birds With Charles Hu
In week seven, Charles will teach you how to draw small and big birds such as an ostrich, eagle, and owl. You will study the structures of the birds’ skulls, wings, and feet to help you accurately capture them in your drawings.

In week eight, you will learn to draw trees and plants while paying attention to grouping, perspective, and overlapping. Then, Charles will help you apply what you have learned to create compositional studies of landscape scenes.

Week 9: Drawing Costumed Figures With Charles Hu
In week nine, Charles will walk you through how to construct fabric and help you apply that to drawing costumed figures. You will learn to combine gesture, shape, and structure with support and gravity, two significant components for drawing drapery.

Week 10: Drawing Cars With Charles Hu
In week ten, you will explore drawing cars. Charles will analyze the proportions and the main components of a car, including the wheels. From there, he will demonstrate sketching classic and modern classic cars using an artist pen and markers.

Week 11: Drawing Military Vehicles With Charles Hu
In week 11, Charles will teach you how to draw military vehicles starting from the tanks. Charles will examine the different types of tanks and break down the structures of the tanks’ wheels.

Week 12: Drawing Planes With Charles Hu
In week 12, you will learn to draw planes and fighter jets. Charles will show you how to break down each complex plane into basic shapes to help simplify the drawing process.
