Whether an artist is just getting started doodling or has been sketching for years, one can always pick up new techniques. Pencil Kings is now offering lifetime access to its Ultimate Character Drawing and Design Course Bundle, which includes over 13 hours of content that can be accessed anytime, at the student’s own pace, from PC and mobile devices. It is intended for all experience levels.
Pencil Kings was originally founded by Mitch Bowler in 2010 because he wanted to provide artists from all walks of life with an encouraging online community and resources to learn new techniques without having to compromise between refining their skills and working a day job. He has since gathered a team of art teachers who have experience with big name studios such as Activision, Dreamworks, EA, Sony, and Warner Bros, and created a fleet of art-school-grade online courses.
2020 has been an all-around strange year, especially for artists. With such high demand for novel entertainment due to people sheltering in place, the need for content in all formats has never been higher. However, major studios such as Disney are hitting major delays with their next releases. That means this is a prime time for artists who were previously on the fence about monetizing their work to get their artwork out there for the world to enjoy.
So whether someone is planning to develop a game, animating, or storyboarding for videos, it helps to build on the techniques established by experienced artists who already have a foot in the TV, movie, and gaming industries. Beginner and Advanced gesture drawing courses, for example, offer students new techniques to refine their character design. Finally, breaking out the sketchbook while watching these videos gives artists the excuse to do exactly what they need to do: practice!
The lineup of teachers contributing to the Pencil Kings line of art courses includes Sergio Paez, who was an episodic director for Star Wars Resistance and Star Wars Rebels, with film credits in projects for Lucasfilm, Pixar, Sega, and Sony. Without character designers and storyboard artists, speculative fiction like Star Wars would not have nearly as much diverse alien life as it does.
Individual courses such as “Figure Drawing Poses and Character Design” and “Wild West Character Design” normally go for about $15 each, so the bundle itself would normally cost about $165 for all eleven courses. As of this writing, the bundle is discounted to about $35, and the courses are accessible for life. Pencil Kings also offers membership in the community for $30/month or $299/year.
