Class Experience

This course is the Beginner/Intermediate version of my most popular class 'Become a Master at Drawing Realistic Animals'!

Earth's Largest Animals Edition! Only pencil and paper is needed to create these fun Cartoon Animal Drawings! I create each sketch in advance, and then teach learners how to create their very own, step-by-step, using simple shapes and lines. 

This is a Self-Paced Course, which gives learners the opportunity to participate on their own schedule, and at their own speed. Artists will be guided through the creation of each piece of Art with pre-recorded instructional videos. 

 Learners will have access to the class recording and content each week. (If full course is paid in advance, the subsequent Art will become available once the previous is completed. You can draw all 4 in a day if you'd like!)
 
Each video will be roughly 25 minutes long, and can be paused as needed depending on how much detail your Artist would like to incorporate. A close-up image of the artwork will also be attached for each class.

I’m available to all my learners for critiques! Students are welcome and encouraged to message with a picture of each completed drawing, if they would like feedback. Please allow up to 5 business days for critiques.

While this class is geared towards having FUN while creating, I aim for my learners to leave my classes with basic drawing skills that can be applied towards future artwork. We will be discussing styles of shading, adding dimension, creating proportions, line weight, contrast, and much more!
I use a second camera, so learners are able to see the in-progress and completed drawing up close.

Learning Goals

The goal for my artists is to walk away from this course with a new set of Art skills that can be applied towards future works of Art. If these classes spark a little extra creativity, even better!

4 Lessons
over 4 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Learn how to draw a Giraffe!
 The first drawing of this course is the TALLEST land mammal on our Planet- the Giraffe! 
Lesson 2:
Learn how to draw a Hippo!
 While hippos spend the majority of their day in water... did you know that they aren't actually able to swim? There are two species of the 3rd largest land mammal on the planet- the Hippopotamus! 
Lesson 3:
Learn how to draw a Rhino!
 There are only 66 Javan Rhinoceroses remaining on our planet. All are located at Ujung Kulon National Park, which is a precarious place to live, considering how it is just 50km away from an active volcano. Join me in drawing the planets second largest land mammal! 
Lesson 4:
Learn how to draw an Elephant!
 Earth's largest land mammal is the great Elephant! Weighing in at over 6 1/2 tons and measuring up to 13ft in height, this gentle giant also has the largest brain of all land mammals.
