I am so excited to teach and create art with learners here on Outschool! Welcome to the Series of Classes -Unlocking Creativity- Under the right conditions, all children can become more creative thinkers, expressive artist and problem solvers. Drawing is one of the ways to unlock their creativity. This course is for beginners and no prior drawing experience is required. In this class we embrace creativity, kindness and diversity.

I am a character and costume designer with the MFA from Northwestern University, I've taught various art and design related classes for 7 years and I have worked with all different age learners.
I have been creating and drawing unique characters for many stories for the last 15 years. Besides my professional expertise my inspiration for creating this class is coming also from my love of storytelling, character creation and anime films.
Also one of the most important things is that Chibis and Gachas are so adorable and cute! :D with their cuteness and simplicity they just make students and me happy drawing them!
