Draw Magical Marv the Reindeer, Using Reference Layers & Selective Coloring!

***CLASS REQUIRES SUPPLIED LAYERED TEMPLATE AND COLOR SWATCH TO BE DOWNLOADED, PRIOR TO CLASS***

This class DOES NOT require any prerequisites since the principles/techniques needed to complete the class are taught DURING the lesson***

Students will work with Mr. Niven to complete the image of Magical Marv the reindeer, using a layered template to start. They will use specific techniques to work the illustration, such as selective color, reference layers, brush stabilization, and more! Though Mr. Niven will guide the students through the various steps, the principles taught are designed to allow students to complete their illustrations on their own for whatever reason. Some students are more meticulous, and/or would otherwise prefer to take longer than the class time provides.

This class utilizes state-of-the-art, screen-sharing technology, using Zoom, which allows students to see and hear Mr. Niven teaching, while watching him draw directly on his iPad screen. Mr. Niven’s teaching style is fun and relaxed, yet motivating, which allows the students to feel comfortable, and confident. Bryan builds on principles, techniques and processes, using real-world examples, and motivates his students to use the knowledge gained in class, to create on their own. 

***PLEASE be respectful of the other students, including your own child, (as it can be overwhelming if they are not properly qualified for class), as you consider your learner’s maturity with regard to listening skills, comprehension, and processing. If you would like to try one of Mr. Niven’s classes, and your child struggles with learning, please consider starting with a private lesson. That way the introduction, and any challenges aren’t compounded by peer pressure/anxiety. Two of Mr. Niven’s own children are on the Autism Spectrum, thus his sensitivity and dedication to helping ALL children succeed, is not only professional but also personal.

Out of respect for the the entire class, if your child is late Mr. Niven will have to evaluate whether or not he can let your child in, without negatively affecting the other students. An option to view the class recording may be made available, (at Mr. Niven‘s discretion), to those who are late, or miss the class, depending on, but not limited to, the reason the student was late, why they missed the class, or if the enrollment minimum was met, wherein a recording may not exist.
