Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this 8-week course, students focus on how to draw an anime body. This is broken down into different categories such as feet, hands, arms, legs, torso, angles, movement, and more! Students will leave this class confident that they can create their own anime character. Students will not learn a particular style of anime, instead will be exposed to multiple sources. Students should expect to draw multiple sketches within a session. This class is designed for the anime fan who wants to take their drawings to the next level. Art experience is not necessary but helpful. Please note that this class can be considered a fast pace class. We work together step-by-step as a class. This class will be presented via Keynote and is an art based class. This is a LIVE class and is NOT pre-recorded. This is so the students can interact with the teacher and ask questions during instruction. Homework will be optional. No writing or independent reading is necessary. Some artistic background is helpful, but not necessary. SELF PACED available here: https://outschool.com/classes/anime-body-anatomy-drawing-sketching-intensive-self-paced-ED7x8Q9J?refuid=bt9IesoB
