▫ Work with home tasks, the main aspects of training
▫ Lines as the main tool of an artist
▫ Analysis of additional tools of the program interface
▫ First objects, the plane, and volume
▫ Primitive-based drawing, basic shape usage
▫ Auxiliary volume drawing and kinematic schemes
▫ Basic drawing principles (from general to more particular)
▪ Work with dynamic lines and strokes
▪ Line change depending on lighting, the depiction of light and shadow
▪ Physically correct parameters when drawing objects: connection to plane, the mass of objects
▪ Depiction of contrast by line, glare, refraction angles, reflections, and bends
▪ Depiction of object texture, drawing patterns, and repeating objects
▪ Line depth, the use of lines to determine objects' distance from the viewer
▪ The concept of an object’s shape and volume
▪ The study of object sections, simple and complex shapes
▪ Volume display using the studied line properties
▪ Determination of normals on an object's surface, the concept of the basic plane
▪ An object's sections according to given normals
▪ Cutting and combining parts of various objects, slices, secant planes, and incremental volumes
▪ The principles of displaying guides and dynamic lines on the surface of an object
▪ The structure of light and shadow in objects. The main features and patterns in work with chiaroscuro.
▪ Ambient light, directional light
▪ Construction of simple and complex shadows using the beam method
▪ Building a quality shadow from a complex object, learning to draw fake shadows
▪ The concept of general lighting for all objects in a figure
▪ Color and light in the work of a digital artist, physical and digital parameters
▪ Itten's color circle, blending, and color separation
▪ Basic methods of working with color
▪ Using contrasts of brightness, color, saturation
▪ Warm and cool color tones, and how to use them
▪ Recommendations for working with color and their range
▪ Color schemes and harmonies
▪ One-point perspective
▪ "Point-to-point perspective", architecture and design
▪ "Three-point perspective" as a tool for non-standard and complex angles
▪ "Aerial perspective", levels and location plans of objects
▪ Working with lines and color in perspective
▪ "Open space perspective": landscapes, architecture
▪ "The enclosed space perspective": design, interiors
▪ "Frontal perspective" and scale
▪ Working with light and shadow in perspective
▪ Construction of complex objects in perspective
▪ Setting the view (camera) in perspective
▪ The concept of composition, proportions, and ratio
▪ Formal composition
▪ The "golden ratio" rule, "rule of thirds"
▪ Transfer of feelings and emotions through composition
▪ The basic set of compositional solutions for the artist’s works
▪ The sequence of work with a picture, methods, and options
▪ Life hacks for the proper organization of work
▪ Practical examples of certain techniques
▪ Working with views, angles, camera
▪ Angle, mood and composition — creating a story in a picture
▪ Creating fast sketches, quick solutions — 80% of the results in 20% of the time
