LEVEL
Fundamentals ● Intermediate ● Advanced
PRE-REQUISITE
All that’s required is a general knowledge of and interest in art.
Will Weston’s workshops are aimed at both beginners and experienced artists, amateurs and professionals alike.
REQUESTED MATERIAL
Students may use any drawing materials they wish, but Will Weston strongly recommends the following:
* 1 8.5 x 11 inch spiral bound sketchbook with smooth paper and a hard back. Even better, a sketchbook with marker paper specifically is an optimal drawing surface with this setup.
* 9 x 12 or 11 x 14 Masonite boards (slightly larger than the sketchbook), are easily found in art stores and provide a nice hard surface to support your sketchbook).
*Black Prismacolor pencils. Faber-Castell Polychromos and Progresso pencils are also excellent and Will Weston uses both. He recommends the black.
*1 pencil sharpener with an enclosed catch basin
THE TEACHER
Will Weston is a great artist and a very experienced teacher.
He began his career as an advertising and editorial illustrator, working nationally for agencies in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Firmly grounded in traditional art and illustration technique (he holds a Master’s degree in Painting from Claremont University), he has held various roles at major animation studios such as Disney Feature, Nickelodeon Studios, Sony Pictures,…
Will Weston has been a full-time professor at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where he was also the director of the Entertainment Arts track of its Illustration department. In addition, he teaches professionals (at Dreamworks Animation, Blizzard Entertainment,…) and conducts internships internationally, in situ and online.
Will Weston is an artist who masters the language of drawing, which allows him to be as comfortable in the practice and teaching of Fine Arts as in Entertainment Art. His great sense of pedagogy allows him to make complex notions simple and to obtain notable progress from his students. In fact, he won the 2012 Art Center College of Design Teacher of the Year award, an award granted by student vote.
