Class Experience

In this ongoing class, the student will learn a simple and fun way to draw fun characters from movies, television, and comics. Class sessions may include kawaii, anime, manga, Grogu (Baby Yoda), cartoons, and more. 

The teacher and the student will draw together as he guides her/him through a simplified, step-by-step process at a slow pace. 

This class will be learner directed, and we will draw a different character each week.

The required items will be the same each week.

Required items:
-- at least 2 sharpened pencils or a mechanical pencil with at least 2 pieces of lead
-- a good eraser (separate from the pencil and smudge-resistant, if possible)
-- a sketch pad or a small pack of letter-size, unlined white paper
-- a ruler or something that has a safe, straight edge and is easy to handle
-- a smooth, flat drawing surface

Optional items:
-- a vinyl eraser (better for drawing than pink erasers)
-- an erasing shield
-- a circle template 
-- a curves and shapes drawing template

This class is part of my drawing series, which includes the following classes:

You may repeat any of my classes as many times as you like. No two completed drawings will be exactly the same. Some students draw just for fun while others are serious about practicing and improving their skills over time. 

What are the advantages of taking a private drawing class? It is a more personalized experience. Generally, kids and their parents like having the teacher's undivided attention when it comes to a hands-on subject like drawing. As I check a student’s progress in a group class, there is no way to prevent classmates from seeing her or his work. That can be uncomfortable for the student since some kids do not catch on as quickly as others or draw as well as others. In a one-to-one class, students do not feel pressured to keep up with other students or compete with them. 

If the posted days and times do not fit your schedule or if you have any other questions, please reach out to me by clicking "Ask a Question" at the bottom of the class page.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree in English from Morgan State University
I have been drawing since I was a toddler watching re-runs of the funny Batman TV series (way before my time) and trying to imitate what I saw. BAM! BIFF! KA-POW! I also imitated the drawings in a giant-size Batman coloring book that was just as tall as I was. As I got older, I drew Transformers, superheroes, and other characters. I took art classes in high school and college. Later, I taught a basic drawing workshop as part of the weekend and summer activities for an Upward Bound program.  

I have more than 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught at the high school and college levels, and I have served as an academic counselor. In addition, I ran an afterschool homework center and summer academic enrichment program for grades K-5 for a year. Therefore, I have worked with small children, pre-teens, teens, and adults successfully.
