Our focus will be on developing your skills while expressing your unique perspective. For one week, we will dive into realistic drawing and shading, learning from the masters. We might even take inspiration from the timeless works of Leonardo da Vinci or use photo references. Every other week, we’ll switch gears and have fun with anime and cartoon-style animals. This approach will help you think like a designer, using your knowledge of animal anatomy to create stylized versions. Our teachers emphasize the importance of seeing like an artist and understanding the elements and principles of design throughout the process.
