Beginner Animal Drawing: Draw Cats, Rabbits and More!

Are you an animal lover and dying to express yourself artistically? In this weekly class, students will be able to explore various creatures from birds to amphibians to mammals. No experience is required as I will guide students through each step as they sketch their animals. Students will actively choose the animals that they would like to draw as well so the schedule is likely to change. Students will be allowed to give positive criticisms about each other's work.
