In this class we will learn to draw 10 simple, adorable aquatic animals! Each week we will draw and color two different water animals using basic shapes and simple strokes. No drawing experience is needed. Perfect for beginner artists or more experienced learners who just love drawing animals! In each lesson, I demonstrate the drawing step by step. I use drawing paper, pencil, eraser and alcohol markers. You are free to add creative elements to you drawings to personalize them. Once you are finished with your artwork, you can upload it to the classroom page for me to see. I will provide feedback in a prompt manner. The art supplies you will need to have are a sketchbook (bristol paper pad if you are using alcohol markers), a pencil, an eraser, and markers. Alcohol markers are recommended, but regular markers or coloring pencils may also be used. This is a self-paced course that has no live meetings. You will be able to watch and work on the drawings at your own pace and convenience. Weekly enrolled students can access two lessons each week. Full-class enrolled students have full access to all the lessons. Each lesson is delivered via a pre-recorded video. The duration of the two lessons per week is between 25 and 35 minutes. I'm looking forward to drawing with you!
