Students will practice developing unique characters with distinct backstories, personalities, and visual characteristics. Students will work on developing their own drawing style, analyzing Japanese manga or anime style and American cartoons or comics. Students will learn how to use abstraction and exaggeration to create a caricature.
I teach classes on a variety of arts-related subjects:
* piano, sight-reading, song-writing;
* realistic drawing techniques;
* comic book creations & anime drawing styles;
* digital arts, Photoshop, graphic design.

I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and am a former public school art teacher. I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been running my own piano studio for 10+ years. There's a special place in my heart for creative works and the artists that make them, especially fantasy stories and narrative artworks, comics and graphic novels.Students may choose to continue working on their drawings outside of class.
