This is a 3-Day Course.  Students will meet 3 times in a week to complete Part 1.

In this exciting 3-day course, students will embark on a creative journey to transform a real-life animal into a fantastical creature. Beginning with the study of snakes, students will learn the fundamentals of anatomy, movement, and texture. They will then use these skills to creatively modify and exaggerate the snake's features, adding fantasy elements, turning it into a majestic dragon.  Students will learn about different dragon types, and how to transform their snake sketches into dragon designs by adding key features, such as wings, horns, and limbs. Each session is designed to build on the previous one, guiding students through observation, imaginative transformation, and detailed rendering. By the end of the course, students will have a complete, detailed illustration of their unique dragon, along with a deeper understanding of how to blend reality with fantasy in their artwork.

Students who have completed this class are recommended to join Part 2 & 3 where they will create human fantasy creatures and fantasy landscaping. Please see links below:
