Each class will begin with introductions. Students are invited to share their personal art and their favorite anime with the class. We still start the drawing process by looking at the original anime stills or anime-inspired artwork and talk about the drawing process, starting with light sketches using shapes and adding details and darker lines later. Students will practice sketching and drawing skills using pencil, and students are welcome to ink their artwork with pen and color in their piece after the class. I will monitor student’s progress throughout the class. Students are invited to share their artwork at the end of class.

Each class will be a directed drawing of a different anime character and introduce slightly different drawing skills. I will teach basic composition skills, the sketching and “editing” process, human proportions, combining references, basic perspective skills, and more-- the same drawing skills professionals use, presented in a fun and accessible way.

All students are invited to share their final finished work on the classroom forum after class in addition to sharing during the live class. Students who do not finish their initial drawing may also receive feedback by posting their drawing.

At the end of each class, students will vote to choose the theme for the next class (see list below for options!) Afterwards, I will post the chosen theme in the classroom with the reference image attached. Students may choose to print out the reference, but it is not required. 

My goal is to create a fun, creative learning environment where students can comfortably learn and share their ideas with others who also love anime and manga, characters, and artwork. Students will bring their imagination to life, draw their favorite characters and scenes, and have the opportunity to share their art with other anime fans. This class is great place for anime lovers to practice their drawing skills. Students are free to interact with one another during class and discuss their favorite anime.

No previous experience or knowledge is required. I would recommend this class to any student remotely interested in anime culture. Students don't need to have seen a whole lot of anime. I welcome everyone who loves drawing and is curious about anime to join this course!
