Draw Your Favorite Anime Character - Beginner Drawing Class

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art with a concentration in Drawing and a Business Administration minor. Since 2017, I’ve been teaching both in schools and online, helping students grow as artists.

I specialize in black-and-white drawing, particularly with #2 pencils, drawing pencils, and charcoal, and I’ve written an 80-page paper on Renaissance techniques. I also teach color theory with crayons, colored pencils, pastels, and blending markers, and I can guide students in acrylic and watercolor painting.

Areas of Expertise:
Portraits & Figure Drawing – Understanding facial proportions, anatomy, and shading to create realistic drawings.

Dragons & Fantasy Creatures – Designing imaginative creatures with dynamic poses and textures.

Flowers (Especially Roses) – Drawing flowers with attention to detail, layering, and shading.

Still Life – Teaching students how to see and draw objects accurately, while practicing different shading techniques like cross-hatching and blending.

Mashables – A fun exercise where students combine two ideas (e.g., an animal and a fairy) to push their creativity and break away from realism.

I focus on teaching art fundamentals like composition, shape breakdown, and shading techniques. My classes are all about encouraging students to experiment, build their skills, and find their unique artistic voice.
