Cómo dibujar un cuerpo realista

Hello! I'm Lainey, a professional art teacher with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Writing Emphasis from the University of Nevada, Reno. While I studied there, I worked for over a year as a peer tutor at the UNR Writing and Speaking Center, where I discovered my passion for teaching. Seeing learners there gain an understanding of the tools at their disposal, and become more confident as a result, led me to continue teaching after I graduated. I currently teach art classes at Arts for All Nevada, which is a local nonprofit focused on providing art classes for every age. As a result, I have a variety of experience in teaching children and teens in a range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, comics, writing, and general creative skills. 

On Outschool, I teach classes on comics, drawing, painting and writing skills for a range of age groups and needs. My teaching philosophy is all about encouraging students' creativity while giving them the tools to express themselves as effectively as possible. I am also more than willing to provide writing and art tutoring services--please reach out if this is something you're interested in!

On top of teaching, I also make my own comics, including a weekly YA webcomic and various shorter comics. I'm passionate about comics as a really special and versatile storytelling medium in which words and pictures come together to communicate in a way that neither words nor images could accomplish alone. I hope to share that passion with students in my comics classes. In my drawing-only and writing-only classes, I aim to expand the skill sets of students so that they're better able to express their own creativity. 

In my free time, I enjoy snuggling with my cat and playing Dungeons and Dragons, and reading lots and lots of indie comics.
