For animators having a live model demonstrate movement\, timing\, and actions is essential for capturing the intricacies of the human walk\, gait\, timing\, etc. With shorter sequences of poses/actions you can now demonstrate drawing walk cycles\, movements\, and more. “Classical” figure drawing classes only teach long static poses\, and focus more on fine-art rather than digital practices. But now you can understand how to draw clothing while drawing our models in costume! Prefer to work off of an iPad or other digital device? Well that’s why we created this workshop\, to address the needs of comic artists\, animators\, and digital creatives that are seeking a relaxed environment with minimal instruction and no “fine arts” focus. \nChairs will be set up classroom style surrounding a live model with two cameras positioned above and to the side of the model and projected onto the far wall. This way you get 3 total live views (natural\, side\, above). In addition\, props\, LED lights\, and other objects will be incorporated into the lesson. In the first 10 minutes we will set boundaries and do some introductions to help the model/artists feel comfortable. BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: Please make sure to RSVP in-advance and tip the model (this is required). \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Table of Contents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FirstHeading\n Attending Watercolor Social - 11-12-26About Your Host:CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP)FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Where: 529 SE Grand Ave.\, Suite 300A\nWhen: Sunday Oct 4th\, 10:30am-12pm\nCourse Files: Past photos/video available to members on our courses page.\nMODEL FEE REQUIRED: Tip the model via Cash\, Venmo\, etc. on-site!\n \n Guild Membership $29.99/mo.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AGENDA\n \n10 – 10:15 – Intro and ground rules Explain gestures and timer.\n10:20 – 10:30 – 30 second gestures\, then 1 minute gestures\n10:30 – 11 – 3\, 3 minute poses. 4\, 5 minute poses.\n11 – 11:20 – Two long poses. 10 minutes per pose.

It is OK to leave class for small breaks but we cannot hold-up the class for a student who is absent for more than 5-10 mins. at a time.\nSupport Your Peers: At Digital Dabblers events it is impossible to offer a "one-size-fits-all\," experience (but we do our best!). Some folks may join with more experience than others. If you are familiar with a topic\, and notice a fellow classmate struggling\, offer to help! If you are struggling with any of the material please speak up and let a host or classmate know. Because we cater to beginners and intermediate artists\, it is essential that be build a supportive environment for folks at all levels to succeed.\nPersistent Negativity: When students are persistently negative this drags the mood and experience down for all attendees. As an organization and organizers we are not perfect! And many things are outside our control (parking can fill-up on weekends\, students join with a wide skill range\, and some may present cognitive and physical disabilities). We are receptive to all feedback\, and offer accommodations to the best of our ability\, but are a very small organization with no full-time paid staff and rely 100% on volunteers to carry out our services. While we are proud to say we have the help of industry professionals\, and offer in-depth instruction\, we charge $30/mo. and attendees should not expect this is a University or Accredited institution with a vast array of resources charging $1000+ for their classes.\nExpectations for Arriving On-time: If an event is not listed as "drop-in\," it is expected that participants not arrive more than 15-20 minutes late to an event. In some cases we may not be able to permit entry past this point.\nAlways RSVP before attending an event: Please RSVP before every Digital Dabblers. Individuals who do not RSVP on the website and agree to our code-of-conduct will not be permitted to attend.\nPlease check website regularly: If an event is cancelled\, or our schedule changes\, we do our best to inform students via email. Please check the website before attending any events to ensure they are still happening (if an organizer gets sick for example a last minute cancellation can occur).\nRespect for all attendees: Treat everyone with dignity and respect\, regardless of background\, experience\, or perspective.\nRespect for the host(s): Please treat the host and the space with respect at all times.\nInclusive language: Avoid using offensive or discriminatory language.\nAppropriate sharing: Share information and experiences in a respectful and mindful manner. Avoid oversharing personal details or sensitive information. Please be mindful of specific topics of NSFW art when discussing with everyone in earshot. It's important for folks to provide consent to hear/partake in certain discussions.\nHealth and well-being: While open communication is encouraged\, excessive discussion of personal health issues may not be appropriate for a social setting.\nMental Health: Digital Dabblers is not a mental health facility. Individuals who express thoughts of suicide or are perceived to be in-crisis will be referred to the appropriate services for their needs. In some cases individuals may be removed from our services if their behavior poses a risk to the organization or to their peers.\nNo hate speech or discrimination: Any form of hate speech\, discrimination\, or harassment will not be tolerated.\nAvoid political discussions: To maintain a positive and inclusive environment\, please refrain from discussing political topics.\nPolicy for Removal: Digital Dabblers bylaws permit the President or any officer/director to remove an individual from services at their discretion.\nAbility to Appeal a Removal:  Digital Dabblers bylaws permit an individual to appeal their removal from the community to the board of directors within 30 days of being notified.

But we have many experienced Procreate artists who can help answer any questions you have and demonstrate how many of the tools and interface operates. This lesson will be taught using Procreate\, however the lesson can be accomplished in either Procreate or another drawing tool (or on paper). Technically\, you could also complete this workshop in Procreate Dreams but I would actually just recommend registering for our Intro to Procreate Dreams 2.0 for Animators workshop here: Intro to Procreate Dreams for Animators \nWe’ll cover: \n\nBasic UI and finding the tools\nBasics of illustration and how to approach the craft\nPortrait Practice with an Asaro head at eye level\n\nStudy structure\, perspective\, and value\nDrawing on the iPad from Life\nTwo-point perspective\nBlocking in the silhouette of an Asaro head\n\n\nThe goal is to have fun\, meet fellow artists\, learn useful skills\, and make art together!\n\n \n \n \n \n \n CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP)\n \nExpectations for Classroom Participation: It is expected that participants will maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn\, be challenged\, and communicate their needs to the host(s).

Some folks may join with more experience than others. If you are familiar with a topic\, and notice a fellow classmate struggling\, offer to help! If you are struggling with any of the material please speak up and let a host or classmate know. Because we cater to beginners and intermediate artists\, it is essential that be build a supportive environment for folks at all levels to succeed.\nPersistent Negativity: When students are persistently negative this drags the mood and experience down for all attendees. As an organization and organizers we are not perfect! And many things are outside our control (parking can fill-up on weekends\, students join with a wide skill range\, and some may present cognitive and physical disabilities). We are receptive to all feedback\, and offer accommodations to the best of our ability\, but are a very small organization with no full-time paid staff and rely 100% on volunteers to carry out our services. While we are proud to say we have the help of industry professionals\, and offer in-depth instruction\, we charge $30/mo. and attendees should not expect this is a University or Accredited institution with a vast array of resources charging $1000+ for their classes.\nExpectations for Arriving On-time: If an event is not listed as "drop-in\," it is expected that participants not arrive more than 15-20 minutes late to an event.

So what is Blender?A: Blender is the free and open source 3D and 2d creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling\, rigging\, animation\, simulation\, rendering\, compositing and motion tracking\, even video editing and game creation.

Follow-along step-by-step as we can take the minimalist\, gamey route OR the realistic\, more intricate path. Both are very educational\, expanding on processes and techniques in pixel art and encouraging critical decision making. During the workshop you will utilize efficient tools like the:– Line tool– Custom brush– Gradient tool– Ink – Shading mode \nFor a gamey feel\, we need to keep the canvas at a small size. A recommended size to start with would be 32 x 48\, as to be in a fair size range between characters created and the surrounding environment.

We’ll start with an overview of backwards course design and how I approach creating educational experiences then\, we’ll have work time to develop your own workshop ideas using some templates so that you can leave the session with a lesson plan for a future workshop of your own \n \n \n \n \n \n WORKSHOP DETAILS\n We’re excited to announce our first free teaching workshop coming soon! This workshop is designed to help artists who are new to teaching (or those seeking additional support) develop their own workshops. \nFrom your instructor: Hello! I’m Katya Gorecki – I’m the Educational Programming Consultant for Digital Dabblers. I’ve been teaching in universities\, middle school programs\, and various other capacities for over a decade. Designing and teaching your own class for the first time can be overwhelming – and can kick up a lot of imposter syndrome that doesn’t help either! Whether you’re totally new to teaching\, taught before and want a refresher or just some like minded folks to bounce ideas off of to get more involved in Digital Dabblers\, you’re welcome here. \nIn this workshop\, I’ll be sharing some methods I’ve used to simplify the process of thinking about what you want your students to learn and how to get them there. I’ll provide you with templates based on programs taught at Digital Dabblers to draft your own workshop to share your unique skill set so that by the time you leave you’ll have a plan to teach your own session. If you’ve never taught before\, I promise you know more about it that you think you do looking forward to seeing you in class! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP)\n \nExpectations for Classroom Participation: It is expected that participants will maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn\, be challenged\, and communicate their needs to the host(s).

For animators having a live model demonstrate movement\, timing\, and actions is essential for capturing the intricacies of the human walk\, gait\, timing\, etc. With shorter sequences of poses/actions you can now demonstrate drawing walk cycles\, movements\, and more. “Classical” figure drawing classes only teach long static poses\, and focus more on fine-art rather than digital practices. But now you can understand how to draw clothing while drawing our models in costume! Prefer to work off of an iPad or other digital device? Well that’s why we created this workshop\, to address the needs of comic artists\, animators\, and digital creatives that are seeking a relaxed environment with minimal instruction and no “fine arts” focus. \nChairs will be set up classroom style surrounding a live model with two cameras positioned above and to the side of the model and projected onto the far wall. This way you get 3 total live views (natural\, side\, above). In addition\, props\, LED lights\, and other objects will be incorporated into the lesson. In the first 10 minutes we will set boundaries and do some introductions to help the model/artists feel comfortable.

For animators having a live model demonstrate movement\, timing\, and actions is essential for capturing the intricacies of the human walk\, gait\, timing\, etc. With shorter sequences of poses/actions you can now demonstrate drawing walk cycles\, movements\, and more. “Classical” figure drawing classes only teach long static poses\, and focus more on fine-art rather than digital practices. But now you can understand how to draw clothing while drawing our models in costume! Prefer to work off of an iPad or other digital device? Well that’s why we created this workshop\, to address the needs of comic artists\, animators\, and digital creatives that are seeking a relaxed environment with minimal instruction and no “fine arts” focus. \nChairs will be set up classroom style surrounding a live model with two cameras positioned above and to the side of the model and projected onto the far wall. This way you get 3 total live views (natural\, side\, above). In addition\, props\, LED lights\, and other objects will be incorporated into the lesson. In the first 10 minutes we will set boundaries and do some introductions to help the model/artists feel comfortable. BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: Please make sure to RSVP in-advance and tip the model (this is required).\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Table of Contents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FirstHeading\n Attending Watercolor Social - 11-12-26About Your Host:CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP)FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Where: 529 SE Grand Ave.\, Suite 300AWhen: Sunday Nov 23rd\, 10:30am-12pmCourse Files: Past photos/video available to members on our courses page.MODEL FEE REQUIRED: Tip the model with cash\, venmo\, etc. on-site! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AGENDA\n \n10 – 10:15 – Intro and ground rules Explain gestures and timer.\n10:20 – 10:30 – 30 second gestures\, then 1 minute gestures\n10:30 – 11 – 3\, 3 minute poses. 4\, 5 minute poses.\n11 – 11:20 – Two long poses. 10 minutes per pose.

For partnership events please make sure to check the address listed on the event! \nQ: Why doesn't the password work for downloadable course files?A: Most workshops will have downloadable files/instructions but these are password protected and made available on the day of the event. This gives the host time to make any adjustments to the files before the workshop begins. Most workshop content is eventually made available as a free online course! \nQ: A lot of workshops mention Blender. So what is Blender?A: Blender is the free and open source 3D and 2d creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling\, rigging\, animation\, simulation\, rendering\, compositing and motion tracking\, even video editing and game creation. In addition\, Blender has a powerful vector based 2d animation feature called Grease Pencil. Blender is licensed as GNU GPL\, owned by its contributors. For that reason Blender is Free and Open Source software\, forever. \nQ: Is there parking and is it free?A: There should be street parking around the training center and it is FREE on the weekend. If you take public transit there are options that should get you very close. \nQ: What happens if I show-up late?A: For events at Digital Dabblers\, HQ we have a 15 minute buffer built-in to accommodate late arrivals. Shhh\, just don't tell anyone! 🙂 If you are more than 15 minutes past the starting time of this event the doors will be locked. This is to respect the time of your classmates and the instructor. For partner events at other spaces it is best to arrive as close to the start time as possible. \nQ: Does the software cost money? A: Always check the event page to confirm. If we're teaching using Blender it is free to download and use forever! Just make sure to have it installed on your laptop/device before arriving. For other workshops like Procreate or Procreate Dreams\, Aseprite\, etc.\, the price of the software and links to download will be listed in the description. \nQ: Do you provide computers/equipmentA: There are currently 7 lab computers and 2 tablets available on a first-come first-serve basis. \nQ: What do I need?A: Please plan to bring your own laptop with the latest version of the software installed (unless you plan to use a lab computer).

Anything you’re willing to practice\, you can do.” \n\nTake these words to heart for the Digital Dabblers first ever Digital Art Workshop at Friendly House (In-person) for a relaxing hands-on introduction to the basics of computer generated 3d imagery and computer literacy. Unlike previous workshops with our community\, we will be less focused on teaching the “perfectly correct” way of creating an object or a scene\, and instead take you through a live demo with possibilities to unlock your own artistic muse. Daniel\, your host and guide on this journey to self discovery and technological mastery\, will be showing you a 3d scene. Each participant will have all the assets loaded up on their computer and can follow-along easily to the steps shown. For folks bringing their own computer you can download the course files on the day of the event (we want everyone to discover the scene at the same time!). \n\nWe will try things like making a simple object (coffee mug\, low poly models\, etc)\nLet’s try moving a light around in our scene and feel how the use of shadow and color can be influenced by our artistic choices\nFor the brave and ambitious\, we can even try animating an object moving (or simply watch Daniel as he demo’s this step).\n\nWhile we all play around in our “digital sandboxes\,” you can expect some soothing lofi jams from our portable bluetooth speaker\, and lots of laughs and sharing results with your peers. By participating in this workshop it is impossible for you to walk away knowing less than you did before! The most difficult part is showing up 🙂 \nBEFORE YOU ARRIVE:Clear your mind of self judgement\, anxiety\, and fear of technology and be prepared to have fun with new friends! \nBasic Physical/Cognitive Requirements\n\nMust have adequate vision to view a 14-16″ laptop screen for up to 2 hours\nMust have use of hands to navigate with a mouse and keyboard (although spectating is also ok!)\nStudents who may struggle with memory or focus are still encouraged to attend but must be able to follow basic instructions\nIt is OK to take breaks\, walk around the room\, etc.\nIf a participant is under the age of 18 they must be able to sit still for at least 30 minutes at a time and follow instructions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 5.0\n \n 5.0 out of 5 stars (based on 1 review)\n ExcellentVery goodAveragePoorTerrible\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\n Q: Are Your Workshops Open to Beginners?A: Can you draw a stick figure?

Shhh\, just don't tell anyone! 🙂 If you are more than 15 minutes past the starting time of this event the doors will be locked. This is to respect the time of your classmates and the instructor. For partner events at other spaces it is best to arrive as close to the start time as possible. \nQ: Does the software cost money? A: Always check the event page to confirm. If we're teaching using Blender it is free to download and use forever! Just make sure to have it installed on your laptop/device before arriving. For other workshops like Procreate or Procreate Dreams\, Aseprite\, etc.\, the price of the software and links to download will be listed in the description. \nQ: Do you provide computers/equipmentA: There are currently 7 lab computers and 2 tablets available on a first-come first-serve basis. \nQ: What do I need?A: Please plan to bring your own laptop with the latest version of the software installed (unless you plan to use a lab computer). If you need a laptop we will have a few lab computers available but these are first come first serve. Make sure to arrive early if you need a device 🙂 \n\n \n \n \n \n \n CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP)\n \nExpectations for Classroom Participation: It is expected that participants will maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn\, be challenged\, and communicate their needs to the host(s). It is OK to leave class for small breaks but we cannot hold-up the class for a student who is absent for more than 5-10 mins. at a time.\nSupport Your Peers: At Digital Dabblers events it is impossible to offer a "one-size-fits-all\," experience (but we do our best!). Some folks may join with more experience than others. If you are familiar with a topic\, and notice a fellow classmate struggling\, offer to help! If you are struggling with any of the material please speak up and let a host or classmate know. Because we cater to beginners and intermediate artists\, it is essential that be build a supportive environment for folks at all levels to succeed.\nPersistent Negativity: When students are persistently negative this drags the mood and experience down for all attendees. As an organization and organizers we are not perfect! And many things are outside our control (parking can fill-up on weekends\, students join with a wide skill range\, and some may present cognitive and physical disabilities). We are receptive to all feedback\, and offer accommodations to the best of our ability\, but are a very small organization with no full-time paid staff and rely 100% on volunteers to carry out our services. While we are proud to say we have the help of industry professionals\, and offer in-depth instruction\, we charge $30/mo. and attendees should not expect this is a University or Accredited institution with a vast array of resources charging $1000+ for their classes.\nExpectations for Arriving On-time: If an event is not listed as "drop-in\," it is expected that participants not arrive more than 15-20 minutes late to an event. In some cases we may not be able to permit entry past this point.\nAlways RSVP before attending an event: Please RSVP before every Digital Dabblers. Individuals who do not RSVP on the website and agree to our code-of-conduct will not be permitted to attend.\nPlease check website regularly: If an event is cancelled\, or our schedule changes\, we do our best to inform students via email. Please check the website before attending any events to ensure they are still happening (if an organizer gets sick for example a last minute cancellation can occur).\nRespect for all attendees: Treat everyone with dignity and respect\, regardless of background\, experience\, or perspective.\nRespect for the host(s): Please treat the host and the space with respect at all times.\nInclusive language: Avoid using offensive or discriminatory language.\nAppropriate sharing: Share information and experiences in a respectful and mindful manner. Avoid oversharing personal details or sensitive information. Please be mindful of specific topics of NSFW art when discussing with everyone in earshot. It's important for folks to provide consent to hear/partake in certain discussions.\nHealth and well-being: While open communication is encouraged\, excessive discussion of personal health issues may not be appropriate for a social setting.\nMental Health: Digital Dabblers is not a mental health facility. Individuals who express thoughts of suicide or are perceived to be in-crisis will be referred to the appropriate services for their needs. In some cases individuals may be removed from our services if their behavior poses a risk to the organization or to their peers.\nNo hate speech or discrimination: Any form of hate speech\, discrimination\, or harassment will not be tolerated.\nAvoid political discussions: To maintain a positive and inclusive environment\, please refrain from discussing political topics.\nPolicy for Removal: Digital Dabblers bylaws permit the President or any officer/director to remove an individual from services at their discretion.\nAbility to Appeal a Removal:  Digital Dabblers bylaws permit an individual to appeal their removal from the community to the board of directors within 30 days of being notified. Past this point\, individuals may re-join after 1 year and by vote from the board of directors.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n ABOUT YOUR TA/CO-HOST\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Caroline (they/them)\n Volunteer Blender 3d Workshop Host \n Caroline comes from a work background in education and currently designs training for adult learners.

Well then\, you are qualified to attend most of our events! Intermediate workshops will be noted in the title. If you are feeling like you need additional help with any of the concepts please let the host or TA know and we would be happy to schedule 1-on-1 time. \nQ: How do I access the training?A: Most workshops will be located at our headquarter office. Make your way to the entrance (in-between My Fathers Place and Slow Bar) and search for DIGITAL DABBLE on the door buzzer. We will be upstairs (follow the sign) PLEASE CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IF YOU NEED TO USE THE ELEVATOR. For partnership events please make sure to check the address listed on the event! \nQ: Why doesn't the password work for downloadable course files?A: Most workshops will have downloadable files/instructions but these are password protected and made available on the day of the event. This gives the host time to make any adjustments to the files before the workshop begins. Most workshop content is eventually made available as a free online course! \nQ: A lot of workshops mention Blender. So what is Blender?A: Blender is the free and open source 3D and 2d creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling\, rigging\, animation\, simulation\, rendering\, compositing and motion tracking\, even video editing and game creation. In addition\, Blender has a powerful vector based 2d animation feature called Grease Pencil. Blender is licensed as GNU GPL\, owned by its contributors. For that reason Blender is Free and Open Source software\, forever. \nQ: Is there parking and is it free?A: There should be street parking around the training center and it is FREE on the weekend. If you take public transit there are options that should get you very close. \nQ: What happens if I show-up late?A: For events at Digital Dabblers\, HQ we have a 15 minute buffer built-in to accommodate late arrivals.
