Shapes are a fundamental element of visual language, in fact, it’s not possible to make a picture without them! In this lesson we’ll introduce shape language, the idea that shapes have “personalities” and can convey different ideas. Simplifying shapes will be a crucial skill you’ll need to tackle as an artist, as it makes it easier to judge proportions, fix mistakes, invent new poses, among many other reasons. As you get better with basic shapes you’ll be able to build on complexity by combining simple shapes and adding relevant details to design engaging and recognizable characters or objects.
Prioritizing and learning these concepts is essential and if you want to get better with shapes consider getting the premium course. In the premium course we’ll have additional lessons covering both accuracy and design so that you can speak with shapes in the visual language -
