ILUS 286 - Drawing for Animators II

This course is the sequel to ILUS 285 Drawing for Animators.

Topics covered include: figures in space; creating the illusion of space; linear and aerial perspectives; how space creates mood and supports theme; the importance of viewpoint; composition, lighting and color; how detail creates character, and figure drawing as it relates to weight, balance, gesture, action, and volumetric representation.
