Discover the joy of sketching animals in our fun and engaging beginner art class, where creativity meets self-paced learning. This class is designed for learners looking to delve into the world of animal sketching, providing a comprehensive introduction through a series of step-by-step lessons. We will focus on drawing 4 different animals, and there will be two videos for each animal allowing you to build your skills progressively and enjoyably. With two videos dedicated to each animal, you'll be able to complete simple sketches in a step by step and easy to follow way. 

Cat Sketch: Learn how to capture the graceful and curious nature of cats. We'll start with basic shapes and build up to features like fur, eyes, and whiskers. Each step will be clearly demonstrated, ensuring you can follow along easily to complete a single, cat sketch.

Dog Sketch: Discover how to sketch a cute dog.  We'll focus on proportions, expressions, and textures to make your dog sketch come to life. By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a finished drawing of a dog.

Bird Sketch: Explore the world of our feathered friends. You’ll learn techniques to draw a bird in a specific pose, paying attention to its unique features like beaks and feathers. You'll complete a bird sketch in this session.

Giraffe Sketch: Step into the wild with giraffes! Learn how to draw these tall and elegant creatures, focusing on their long necks, distinct patterns, and gentle expressions. You'll practice capturing their unique proportions and movements, completing a finished giraffe sketch by the end of the lesson.
