Building Blocks
Lesson 1 of 4 2D Sequence Illustration
In this first Lesson, you will learn what makes a good sequence illustration. Patrick will begin by taking you through the key terms used when describing your art, as well as the tools you'll use to craft your scenes. Then you'll go through the underlying concepts involved in telling compelling stories with your images. Finally, you will build your own concept and gather reference material to begin your painting.
Reference Boards
Jump into the Brief Builder and craft your story concept, then begin collecting references which inspire you to tell that story. Create a minimum of three reference boards: one for mood/lighting, one for location and one for character.
