Learn Ink Drawing for Animals and Creatures with
Artist, Sorie Kim

This course will take you through the process of learning how to sketch creatures both real and imaginary. Instead of learning how to simply replicate a drawing or photo, this class will teach you how to utilize reference and break down complex subject matter into basic forms. We will also cover skeletal structure, rendering textures, and capturing movement/poses to bring your sketches to life. We'll be exploring a variety of exercises to design creatures, using real animals as a foundation to maintain believability.

I will also be going over how I use pen and ink, basic sketching principles, and rendering techniques to create dynamic illustrations. In this class, I will be working directly with ink in order to build line confidence and practice line economy. It can be intimidating to go directly to ink without a pencil sketch underneath, but this method will train you to be more intentional with your lines.

Through this course, you will learn how to break down animals into simple forms, giving you freedom to draw subjects from multiple perspectives. The class missions will help you bridge the gap between drawing from observation to imagination.

You will also learn how to start drawing directly with ink, to render your sketches, and to compose layouts for presentation. The course is project based, and will take you through the steps to design your very own creature!

About the Instructor

Instagram

Hello!

My name is Sorie Kim, and I am an illustrator and instructor based in LA. I currently teach Foundation Sketching at Brainstorm School, and I have taught Animal and Human Anatomy workshops for Dreamworks Animation. I also have been working as an independent artist for the past several years. I've had the honor to show my work with Giant Robot, WOWxWOW, and Gallery Nucleus, and work with brands such as Tiktok and Pentel. I feel incredibly grateful to be able to do what I love full time, and hope to continue learning for the rest of my life.

Q: How did you first start doing what you do?

Ever since I was a kid, my goal in life has simply been to draw as much as possible. I've always had a fascination with the natural world, and most of my personal work stems from it. Animals in particular are my hands down favorite subject matter to study, and I'm incredibly excited to share everything I've learned so far!

Great course - it‘s really passing on the skills I‘d hoped for.

Sorie Kim is a great artist, she inspire me a lot. After following her class I saw big improvement in my drawing with pen.

This is one of the best courses I've taken! Sorie starts off with the basics of drawing and from there each chapter has different lessons on how to construct various animals, including their skeletons and musculature. I like Sorie's teaching style because she's straight to the point. As someone who didn't know how to draw animals, I actually surprised myself with all the animals I drew in my sketchbook. For the final project I was able to create my own creature from imagination- something I thought I'd never be able to do! I learned so much in this course! Highly recommend!

Michael T.

The instructor is absolutely fantastic. Love the information she conveys, and she presents it extremely well. A few things that I liked less: for the cost of the course, and for the amount of time it probably took to prepare and shoot it, it was disappointing that the camera is continually going out of focus. I've watched lots of instructional art videos, and I've never seen that distracting problem on a professionally produced video. Also, again regarding the cost of the course, I don't like the fact that access to the course only lasts for a limited number of weeks. There are many excellent sources of art videos at multiple prices points where access to a course is lifetime, including domestika, udemy, painttube.tv, etc. So, A+ for instructor and for the content, lower marks for the rest of the experience.

This had been a great class! I ordered supplies through the class which arrived quickly. All the supplies were as described. I used up 2 pens already and have gotten refills- this wasn't surprising from his much we've been drawing. I would definitely recommend this class and have developed a lot with my comfort using ink

Alysse W.

Loved the course. Filled with lots of usefull nuggets of information

Jenny L.

This class is packed - a ton of materials to learn, extremely detailed, progresses fast, and a ton of fun! The teacher's work is exquisite, free, uniquely stylish, and full of imagination. I will watch all the classes for a second and third round, they are THAT good! Highly recommend.

Anthonio M.

I'm one week into this course and already feel like I've learned so much. I can already see results in my basic technique and I'm excited to move on to more advanced concepts.

Felipe G.

The only improvement I see is that the volume is a bit low. The content and exercises are exactly what I wanted
