Q2 What skills are you planning to learn this year? Or new materials/tools to try out? Are you going to any courses perhaps? #MakersHour
@makershour
A2: #MakersHour @makershour I would like to do some work on learning illustration, but it will be relearning some old skills in drawing artist impressions of a design, and painting theatre sets. If I had the time then doing a course would be good, but I doubt very much that would ever happen.
@Maker_of_Things @makershour regular or technical illustration?
@Workshopshed @makershour
Regular, I already have the technical.
I want to make the backgrounds to Theraton Market Town so that I can photograph #HarrietAndDaisy in more locations, but maybe with a comic style, or a Paddington Bear style.
@Maker_of_Things @Workshopshed @makershour
I've bookmarked this thread to see what other suggestions you might get. To answer your OP question, I'm wanting to pursue the skills it takes to be a courtroom artist. Good on ya.
@Maker_of_Things @Workshopshed @makershour
I expect that acquiring such skills is going to take a lot of trial/error work, but it's worth learning, IMHO.
@ClaraListensprechen4
A courtroom artist? That's quite something.
It is something I could never imagine doing as despite having studied art I can't draw people (or any creature from life).
When we had life drawing classes I drew everything except the model!
I can't even imagine, or remember, how a face or person looks.
