Class Experience

In this class, I will show you how you can bring your expressive side to photos with simple illustration techniques.
We will cover the basics of shading: breaking down the light in photos from highlights to mid-tones to shadows.
We will also cover the basics of colour theory: how to pick "visually appealing" colour schemes
My teaching style aligns with that of a facilitator: I will be introducing these ideas in a way that allows anyone to apply their own intuition and develop a unique approach to any challenge. 
This will require a bit more participation and patience but will result in a much greater confidence in your artistic ability.
We will be going step-by-step: picking a photo, establishing tones, picking colors, brushes, etc. and discussing along the way. There are no wrong answers so even if you feel stuck at some point I will be more than happy to provide a suggestion. 
Im certain the techniques we discuss will come in handy time and time again.
Absolutely no one will be left behind and by the end we'll all have something we cant wait to show off.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey Everybody!
I've been a graphic designer for the past 7 years but I've been drawing all my life.

I graduated with a B.Eng Civil Engineering and went on to get an M. Eng. however, professionally, I graduated towards the arts and graphic design. I have worked for a number of smaller companies involved in merchandising and marketing.

I have also worked independently with friends in the music and film industry on things like album covers and titles. You can see all my work at my website: mbabazi.co

I spent a couple semesters in college as a peer tutor and learnt the importance of instilling confidence in learners, regardless of age or topic. I try to do this by encouraging curiosity and asking questions. Instead of reaching for perfectionism, I will encourage any new artists to focus on the "essence" of what they're trying to portray; that way you grow and learn at the same time without the self-doubt of perfectionism.

I'm hoping to pass on these principals on the funnest way possible through art, illustration and design.

I completely in love art, design, all TV shows and comedy.

Thank you for checking out my profile. I cant wait to see you in class :)
