In this 8-week course, students focus on how to draw an anime face. This is broken down into different categories such as eyes, nose, mouth, head, hair, angles, movement, proportions, measuring techniques and more! Students will be exposed to both male and female anime characters. Students will leave this class feeling confident that they can create their own anime character. Students will not learn a particular style of anime, but will be exposed to multiple anime 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 is optional. No writing or independent reading is necessary. Some artistic background is helpful, but not necessary. Students are expected to communicate with the teacher. Communication is key in order to give direction to the teacher when the student is ready for the next step (communicate via chat box, a visual clue, or a verbal cue. This will be explained in class).
