Class Experience

Beginner Level
Welcome to How to Draw Your Favorite Characters (Ages 5 to 8 Edition), my name is Nicholas Haynes, I am an artist and illustrator whose looking to pass my knowledge to a new generation of artists

As the title suggests, we will be learning how to draw a variety of characters we all know and love. Here is an example of some of the lessons we will take, in no particular order.

Shape Language, and how to use your tools, and Mickey Mouse

Drawing Dynamic Poses, featuring Mario

How to Draw Sonic Characters

How to Draw Dog Man


This will be a fun and laid-back course, made specifically for beginner artists. Everyone has a different pace and I want to accommodate for that. The worst thing a teacher can do is make a child not want to learn. They are free to ask questions and provide comments, they can talk via mic or text, whichever they are most comfortable with. Sessions will also be recorded.

Learning Goals

How to properly construct two-dimensional figures from basic shapes and lines into recognizable characters.
How to create smooth lines with drawing tools such as pencils and pens, giving them the ability to create confident linework that makes their art feel bold and alive.

Other Details

Supply List
Pencil, Paper, and Pens

If your child has access to an iPad or drawing tablet, they are free to use those as well, but I will be focused on pen and paper.

Ideally, buy a sketchbook that can chronologically show their progress.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I do not have a teaching degree, but I have experience working with children in regards to teaching them how to draw. I meet up with my nephew every week to give a 30 minute art lesson on various topics for the past four months. It was through my success with this that I was recommended Outschool.
