Semi-realism is a fun and unique blend of cartoon/anime style and realism. Learners will draw a semi-realistic side profile face during class using a pencil. I'll help learners with tips for the shape, size, shading, structure, and proportions of the face. This class is great for working on stylization and portrait skills. I recommend that learners have basic knowledge of sketching, as well as some experience drawing the face. I cover drawing faces in my classes Let's Draw: Semi-Realistic Female Face, and Let's Draw: Semi-Realistic Male Face. I will guide learners to follow along with step-by-step directions to create the face shape, eye, nose, mouth, eyebrow, and ear. We'll add a simple hairstyle at the end of class, but learners are encouraged to be creative and create their own hairstyle. Students are welcome to ask questions throughout the class. At the end of class, students can share their drawings if they would like. For this class, learners will need a pencil, an eraser, and paper. You can also bring a ruler and any other art supplies to class. See you in class!

Teacher expertise and credentials
** Currently on a break from teaching **
Hello! My name is Kristeena. I teach art here on Outschool, mainly focusing on pencil drawing in semi-realistic and anime styles.
I have 4 years of experience teaching art and language online. After graduating with a BA in psychology, I started working with children aged 9-18 in a residential setting. In 2016, I began studying painting and started worked as a freelance artist. A year later, I began t-shirt design as well. I've been an artist my whole life -- I enjoy working with pencil, pastel, ink, and digital programs.
I love traveling. I've been to 20 countries over the past few years, including months of full-time travel and living overseas. My other interests include anime, cats, and video games (The Legend of Zelda is my favorite).
I like to create a sense of ease and freedom around art. I believe creativity is innate in everyone, and that everyone has something unique to express. In my classes, I encourage students to ask questions, be curious, and interact in the way they most feel comfortable.
