Bird Drawing and Construction with Michael Rios
Join Michael in this wonderful 3 hour workshop. You will be guided in how to draw a bird using basic shapes and address superficial anatomical structure. Bird talons, wings, and head will be discussed.
These skills are also fundamental in the process of creature design, game art, and character design. In the session you will primarily be using pencil and pen, yet if you would like to bring a digital tablet to work on, your more than welcome to do so!
Please note that tablets will not be provided to use in this session.
The only prerequisite for this workshop is to bring your curiosity and interest.
