Class Experience

In this exciting and creative class, students will have the chance to draw their favorite anime characters, whether from action-packed series, magical worlds, or adventure-filled universes. The class is divided into three levels, designed to meet students where they are in their artistic journey, from beginners to more experienced artists. Each level focuses on improving technique, adding detail, and getting the character's essence just right, with plenty of time for finishing touches, color, and value!

In this introductory class, we’ll focus on getting the basic outline of your favorite anime character down on paper. Students will learn the key features of anime-style drawing, including proportions, eyes, hair, and clothing. The goal is to create a clean, detailed sketch by the end of class, with time for some extra touches like outlines, basic details, and maybe even a simple background. Students will leave with a solid foundation to build on for future drawings.

Some Skills Covered:

Basic anime character proportions and features

Creating clean, structured sketches

Adding simple details and backgrounds

Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Fine/Studio Arts from Elizabethtown College
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art with a concentration in Drawing and a Business Administration minor. Since 2017, I’ve been teaching both in schools and online, helping students grow as artists.

I specialize in black-and-white drawing, particularly with #2 pencils, drawing pencils, and charcoal, and I’ve written an 80-page paper on Renaissance techniques. I also teach color theory with crayons, colored pencils, pastels, and blending markers, and I can guide students in acrylic and watercolor painting.

Areas of Expertise:
Portraits & Figure Drawing – Understanding facial proportions, anatomy, and shading to create realistic drawings.

Dragons & Fantasy Creatures – Designing imaginative creatures with dynamic poses and textures.

Flowers (Especially Roses) – Drawing flowers with attention to detail, layering, and shading.

Still Life – Teaching students how to see and draw objects accurately, while practicing different shading techniques like cross-hatching and blending.

Mashables – A fun exercise where students combine two ideas (e.g., an animal and a fairy) to push their creativity and break away from realism.

I focus on teaching art fundamentals like composition, shape breakdown, and shading techniques. My classes are all about encouraging students to experiment, build their skills, and find their unique artistic voice.
