I am a professional illustrator who has also been teaching in-person drawing classes for kids of all ages for the past 10 years. I joined Outschool in early 2023 and love teaching students all over the world. I teach a construction method of drawing that starts with simple shapes first and progresses to details, inking and colouring. We don't cut corners or rely on gimmicks or tricks. These are the real-deal drawing skills that I wish I was taught when I was young. I have a lot of experience working with students on the autism spectrum, and with ADHD and dyslexia and find that drawing and making art together through a shared interest is a great way to connect and bond and practice social skills.
