W10: Minimal Toolkit, Maximum Impact
SOLD OUT
$140.00
WORKSHOP
W10
Saturday morning
Suhita Shirodkar
Learn how a minimalist approach to your toolkit lets you be nimble and capture maximum action and storytelling in your sketches.
We will tell a story that unfolds at our workshop location through the people and their activity. The workshop starts with a short set of exercises on drawing people in action that will aid our documenting of the story unfolding before us.
Supply list: Note: It is important that your sketch kit be compact enough for you to move around in the course of the workshop. You can use any version of the tools listed below. I am listing the specific tools I use in brackets in case you would like to know.
Sketchbook without highly textured paper: pen and pencil should work well on the paper surface.
Brush pen (I use a Pentel Pocket Brushpen)
2 black pens of different line thickness or a variable-line pen. (I use a Sailor Fude de Mannen 55 degree pen)
Pencil: 2B or darker
Optional: grey marker, two or three colored pencils
Out of stock
