In this fun, laidback class, learners will learn some drawing techniques about perspective, shapes, texture, and tones to help them draw popular realistic animals. Learners will have the option to follow along while I draw from an example, or if they are advanced, they can use the skills they learned in order to draw the animal how they want. Learners will draw the first day and shade the next before starting another animal. MATERIALS: paper, pencils, erasers, sharpeners SCHEDULE: *Learner's are welcome to draw from their imagination or personal photos. *Examples from class are all in the thumbnail photo above in case learners would like to draw along. Day 1 - Drawing: Shark Day 2 - Shading: Shark Day 3 - Drawing: Scorpion Day 4 - Shading: Scorpion Day 5 - Drawing: Elephant Day 6 - Shading: Elephant Day 7 - Drawing: Dog Day 8 - Shading: Dog My goal on Outschool is not only for learners to have fun, but most importantly for learners to learn key techniques about shapes, tones, textures, perspective, etc. that they can apply to any drawing. My hope is that learners take what they learn in class and apply it to their drawings at home as they steadily improve and become more confident. I can't wait to meet you all!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I graduated from Grand Central Atelier in New York City where I was trained to draw and paint realistically in a traditional way. While I usually draw realistically, I also enjoy using this approach to draw in different styles. My goal is to teach children the tools of drawing and give them the opportunity to practice applying them so that they will be able to draw what they want independently.Reviews
