This is a drawing skills development class that starts with stick figures, then moves to drawing characters that we will build with shapes and lines. Students will learn basics about the simplified human skeletal structure and the shapes of muscle groups, in order to get your characters "in shape". Learn more about drawing bodies, heads, hands, and various eyes, to make your characters unique. There will be time (for those who want to) to share the characters they create and tell their stories.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about how to draw more realistic characters. Students will learn the basics about the human skeletal system and muscle groups. Students will learn about how to render eyes, hands, and faces. Students will build confidence in their ability to draw more realistic characters. Students will learn to share their interests in drawing characters and storytelling with other students.Other Details
Parental Guidance

Supply List
Students will need sharp pencils, an eraser, plenty of white paper, and/or a sketchbook. Since we outline our characters in sharpie plan to use only one side of the paper. In addition a sharpie marker, sharpie pen, or another black graphic design marker. Colored pencils and/or markers and a ruler.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an artist and teacher who loves to teach kids, teens and adults how to draw through the observance of simple shapes and knowledge of art elements and principles. I also enjoy teaching botanical drawing, painting, mixed media, art journaling, and character drawing.
I believe that anyone can learn the joy of creative self expression through art and writing. With character drawing I help students develop their own characters and write their own stories. I've taught classes such as introduction to drawing, art journaling, collage, mixed media painting, intro to graphic novels, cartoons and comics, and drawing Kawaii and other cute characters and animals.Reviews
