Let's take a quick look at observational art and imaginative: art what the differences are and also how

they link together.

So, observational art is basically art work that is done by observing something, recreating it on the

page and then kind of possibly adding your own twist to it,

dramatizing it a little bit. But mainly the artwork is created by referencing something directly. Imaginative

on the other hand is done primarily out of your head.

Right.

You're imagining things,

ideas, places, characters and so forth, and then trying to implement them onto the page.

Now imaginative art requires a lot of theory.

You need to really have a firm grip on theory so that you know how to implement and also fix the imaginative

artworks that you're creating. Observational art is extremely useful for imaginative artists, and this

course is really about imaginative art, imaginative character art.

It is because we use observation in our studies. When we're studying clothing, when we're studying posing,

when we're studying anatomy, when we're studying hairstyles; observational art is a massive study tool for

us.

However, the observational art isn't the actual art for us, and that is a very key point.

So, in this course we are firmly imaginative artists but, both imaginative and observational artists make

use of references; whether the reference is visual information in your mind, or visual information in

front of you.

And of course, there are definitely artists who use both, where they're mixing elements of reality with elements

of imagination.
