When drawing additional masses in this course we use a simple outward curve where the mass is exposed to fresh air. Outside this course you can draw as you please. There is some utility in this kind of thinking when drawing animals (or the human figure) as they are mostly composed of positive forms, which make outward curves. Often something that may at a glance look like an inward curve may be the result of two (or more) outward curves meeting. But that's not a general rule, simply something that may be helpful to think about.

We'll carve the eye sockets into the cranial ball as shown in the informal head demo and rhino head demo wherever possible. There are a few outliers where this isn't feasible, such as a hammerhead shark, where we'd need to mount a secondary form onto the cranial ball and inscribe eye sockets into that instead.

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.

This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
