Class Experience
Semi-realism brings the fun, expressive style of anime and blends it with a realistic drawing. In this class, we will be exploring how to draw a semi-realistic portrait step by step. We will be focusing on a different element of portrait drawing each week, including drawing the features of the face, exploring face angles, drawing hair, and putting it all together with techniques on proportion and shading. Students will have access to a new pre-recorded video every week. Students can draw along with the video, and continue practicing drawing at their own pace throughout the week. Students will share their sketches and drawings in the classroom, and receive feedback from the teacher. Students will also interact with each other by commenting on each other's posts. Some drawing experience is beneficial, but not required. Students will be guided step-by-step, and are encouraged to reach out to the teacher in the classroom if they need further assistance. Week 1: Drawing Eyes Week 2: Drawing the Nose and Mouth Week 3: Drawing the Face and Features Week 4: Basic Hair Week 5: More Hairstyles Week 6: Angles of the Face Week 7: Drawing a Male Portrait Week 8: Drawing a Female Portrait

Teacher expertise and credentials
** Currently on a break from teaching **
Hello! My name is Kristeena. I teach art here on Outschool, mainly focusing on pencil drawing in semi-realistic and anime styles.
I have 4 years of experience teaching art and language online. After graduating with a BA in psychology, I started working with children aged 9-18 in a residential setting. In 2016, I began studying painting and started worked as a freelance artist. A year later, I began t-shirt design as well. I've been an artist my whole life -- I enjoy working with pencil, pastel, ink, and digital programs.
I love traveling. I've been to 20 countries over the past few years, including months of full-time travel and living overseas. My other interests include anime, cats, and video games (The Legend of Zelda is my favorite).
I like to create a sense of ease and freedom around art. I believe creativity is innate in everyone, and that everyone has something unique to express. In my classes, I encourage students to ask questions, be curious, and interact in the way they most feel comfortable.
