Light & Shadow, Texture, & More! How to Draw a Cat Like Jean Bernard

We're going to draw a cat with a bit of architecture around him using pencils. Although this is just one drawing, you will learn so much! First of all, we'll talk a bit about some drawing supplies and how you can use them. Then we'll dive into sketching some basic shapes to set up the composition. We'll discuss why it's super helpful to start that way and get proportions as close as possible to set ourselves up for success. Then we'll take a look at how to create texture, especially cat fur which can be tricky! As we draw, we'll gradually add more and more shadows....or light as needed. I'll teach how to avoid common drawing mistakes along the way. Although we'll have a certain drawing as our end goal, my art teaching style is more "practice and process" oriented than requiring a perfect result. In other words, I want you  to enjoy the journey of drawing most of all because I truly believe that just doing this work and listening to what I teach along the way will cause you to make progress! No matter your drawing level, come give this a try. This is a judgment free zone!
