Abstract

Pencils and Pixels is a series of 10 films which start by encouraging you to keep a sketch book, develop your drawing skills from the imagination as well as learning how perspective grids can improve your perspective sketch drawing. Demonstrations will show how to draw in measured perspective and finally how to render your completed drawings. Some of the films are supported by additional learning materials to help you practice your new skills. The materials you will need are listed at the start of each film.

The entire package of resources including video, audio, images and documentation can be downloaded as a zip file. To view all resources on the project website, click the link below.

Many of the longer films are broken into manageable chunks or ‘chapters’ so that you can easily repeat parts of the demonstration as required. The most effective way to learn is to first watch the film through to the end and then to use the materials list and supporting materials to work though information again at your own pace. Some of the techniques are quite difficult at first, but persevere and practice, practice, practice!
