In this course, we'll start with a quick overview of how fabric works when held up loosely and pulled taut, with examples drawn as I explain. Then, we'll practice some different items of clothing including skirts and loose shirts together, followed by tighter shirts and jeans, and then specialty items like dresses, shorts, and jackets. All the while, we'll also be discussing how different fabrics will affect how each of these pieces of clothing are drawn, as well as weight, length, and body type of the person wearing them. Learners need only show up with a pencil and a willingness to learn! My teaching style is relaxed with a step-by-step structure--artists at this age should be able to explore their creativity as they learn, but sometimes a little structure can make learning less overwhelming.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Lainey, a professional art teacher with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Writing Emphasis from the University of Nevada, Reno. While I studied there, I worked for over a year as a peer tutor at the UNR Writing and Speaking Center, where I discovered my passion for teaching. Seeing learners there gain an understanding of the tools at their disposal, and become more confident as a result, led me to continue teaching after I graduated. I currently teach art classes at Arts for All Nevada, which is a local nonprofit focused on providing art classes for every age. As a result, I have a variety of experience in teaching children and teens in a range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, comics, writing, and general creative skills.
On Outschool, I teach classes on comics, drawing, painting and writing skills for a range of age groups and needs. My teaching philosophy is all about encouraging students' creativity while giving them the tools to express themselves as effectively as possible. I am also more than willing to provide writing and art tutoring services--please reach out if this is something you're interested in!
On top of teaching, I also make my own comics, including a weekly YA webcomic and various shorter comics. I'm passionate about comics as a really special and versatile storytelling medium in which words and pictures come together to communicate in a way that neither words nor images could accomplish alone. I hope to share that passion with students in my comics classes. In my drawing-only and writing-only classes, I aim to expand the skill sets of students so that they're better able to express their own creativity.
In my free time, I enjoy snuggling with my cat and playing Dungeons and Dragons, and reading lots and lots of indie comics. Reviews
