Although I can help troubleshoot with other apps, students should have a basic idea of how their chosen digital art drawing...
Practice the sketching process using your digital drawing app. Practice drawing animals using shapes and seeing the shapes within a drawing. Sharing artwork and feedback with other learners.

I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I taught digital art as a public high school teacher and as an adjunct university professor; now I enjoy teaching digital art to students online. I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been teaching for 20+ years and 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.
