Along with this pre-recorded video footage, learners will also find close-up shots showcasing finer details (e.g. how to draw individual hair strands or various blending or shading techniques). Throughout the video, learners can expect to find additional graphics to support them in their understanding of specific concepts and techniques.💡 You can find additional resources, from reference photos to links to YouTube clips and additional art activities, on the classroom page. 🎨 📩 Progress photos and completed artwork can be submitted through the Outschool messaging system and I am more than happy to provide feedback and/or constructive criticism!
