Good Bones

Workshop description

Good sketches start with Good Bones! In this workshop, you’ll learn how to start a sketch by setting up the foundational “bones” in only 3 simple steps. We’ll cover a few essentials of perspective, how to develop a sketch in layers, and finish it off with quick watercolor. No need to fear or fake perspective, it’s easy when you know what to look for!
