What will students learn: Students will learn to create a variety of Manga/ Anime style cats from basics to more specific Chibi, as well as serious poses, and a variety of eye styles. Students will learn using sight measurements to create accurate Manga style cats. We will use a step by step approach where I will demo live and have students work with me for live feedback on the how's of drawing Manga cats.

No background knowledge is required!- But a love of drawing cats!

Students will learn from samples, power points, and live demos in class from the instructor. Also, students will draw in class and share progress for feedback.
