Hello to fans of all kinds of amazing animals! In this ongoing drawing class, beginner artists will learn to draw wild animals in step-by-step drawing lessons. We start our class by sharing interesting facts about our animal of the week in a friendly and fun classroom.

I introduce our drawing lesson with a quick pencil sketch to demonstrate the shapes of each unique animal. I use a second camera to allow students to see and follow my step-by-step drawing. We gradually add details with our coloured pencils while learning different drawing skills, such as shading, line weighting, patterning and cross-hatch. 

I pause and chat through the class to keep a suitable pace for everyone. The students are welcome to have a show and tell with their artwork if they wish to do so. I always celebrate and encourage the accomplishments of each wildlife artist in my class!
