Class Experience

Drawing is a skill that anyone can learn, and imagination is the driving force. So, in this class, students will learn how to draw a portrait from their own imagination. I will teach them, step by step, how to section a face and how to draw the eyes, nose, ears, lips, and hair. I will describe the process as I demonstrate on the Krita drawing application. Students will be encouraged to follow along on paper. During class, I will pause after each step to give students enough time to work on their drawings and ask any questions before we move on to the next step. No prior drawing experience is needed for this class. Students will be encouraged to draw their portrait however they imagine, using the steps I provide.

Learning Goals

Students will leave this class with knowledge of how to draw a face from scratch.

Other Details

Supply List
Students will need a pencil and paper to draw on. This can be computer paper or a sketchbook.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Obada.

I am an avid writer and art enthusiast, and I have always been passionate about sharing knowledge. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in neuroscience. My interest in science and writing led me to teach at a community college, where I was a Professional Tutor for four years. I tutored biology, English, and writing both in-person and online. When I am not teaching, I spend my time drawing and immersed in the world of possibilities that is creative writing.

When it comes to art and writing, I have always believed that everyone should have the opportunity to express themselves however they want. Creativity is not just a talent some are born with. It is a skill that all can learn! This is why my classes are designed with purpose and flexibility. I teach the basic skills that you need to create, but also stimulate your creativity to run as wild as it can. My passion for art and writing is what has guided me to teach on Outschool, and I hope to share this passion with you.
