How to Draw Realistic Animals Using Pets

Welcome to our realistic drawing class for all pet lovers and science nerds alike, where we will learn how to draw realistic animals by using a handful of realistic shading techniques.

This realistic drawing class is perfect for artists looking to build their drawing skills or just to add a few realistic drawing pieces to their art portfolio. 

This drawing class is also great for both neurodivergent learners and homeschool families because it promotes the use of affordable materials and is run by a teacher with an adaptive teaching style. 

The first half of class will begin with good news and an icebreaker. This will allow all of us to get a better chance to know each other before class begins. Then, we will focus on one particular pet and we will practice a multitude of realistic drawing techniques under the guidance of a certified art educator.  

The following art topics we will cover are:
