Learn Line Art, Drawing, and Brushwork with
Artist and Illustrator, Bryce Kho

This course is about drawing with ink and watercolor – using pen, felt pen, brush pen, and dip brushes. Working directly with ink requires building up your confidence and training to visualize your drawings before placing a stroke down on paper.

We will be exploring and familiarizing ink as a medium, and working on the very basics of drawing to build a foundation — line weight, drawing basic shapes and volumes, understanding perspective— and gradually work towards being able to visualize any object in three dimensions.

Take the freedom to skip the pencil sketch, and jump straight to ink. Start portraying the breathing scenery and people in your life, or capturing your imagination on the paper with more confidence, completing a fully finished illustration.

This course is for beginners to intermediate artists who would like to sharpen their fundamental drawing skills to master ink and watercolor. This course is also great for those who desire to shift from realistic to imaginative drawing.

This course aims to build your visual library and apply it to draw with ink from the start, using your visualization skills and imagination!

After practicing drawing a real-life object, we will start rotating those in your head without even touching them. Sounds too complicated? No worry, we will go from simple objects to complicated ones. Once you are capable of doing so, you will be able to plan out, compose, and finish a traditional illustration using ink and watercolor.
