Thank you for checking out my class!

My animal drawing club for beginners is the perfect way for young artists to develop their drawing skills and learn how to sketch animals in a realistic style. This engaging drawing class is ideal for beginners and helps children improve their artistic abilities while drawing animals in their natural habitats.

Why Choose My Animal Drawing Club?

I, Mr. Andy, will guide your child as they explore the exciting world of animal drawing. Every week, I focus on a different animal, and students will learn to draw that animal using basic shapes and simple techniques.

What’s Included in the Class?

Step-by-Step Animal Drawing: Each class begins with sketching the animal using a drawing pencil and eraser. I will walk students through the process, showing how to break down complex animals into simple shapes like circles, ovals, and squares.

Creating Backgrounds: After the animal sketch is completed, students will learn to draw a background that matches the animal’s natural habitat, enhancing the realism of their artwork.

Coloring and Detailing: Once the sketch is done, we’ll bring the animal and scene to life by coloring them in using colored pencils (or markers), adding depth and texture.

Showcase Time: At the end of each class, students may proudly showcase their completed drawings to the group (if they wish to do so)!


How My Online Drawing Class Works

Interactive Online Sessions: My classes are taught via Zoom, where I use two cameras—one focusing on my face and the other on my drawing pad. This setup ensures students can follow along easily and learn the drawing techniques.

Step-by-Step Guidance: Each class is taught step-by-step, with me drawing along and explaining every move. Students can draw alongside me, following my instructions in real time.

Personalized Feedback: Throughout the class, I pause regularly to check in with students, offering feedback and encouragement. If a student needs help or has a question, I am always ready to assist, ensuring no one gets left behind.

Positive, Relaxed Environment: My teaching style is fun, supportive, and relaxed, allowing students to feel confident as they develop their artistic skills.


Class Details

Weekly Sessions: This is a weekly class, and each session focuses on drawing a different animal. (See the list of animals I'll draw in the upcoming weeks below.)

Suitable for Beginners: Whether your child is a complete beginner or has some drawing experience, this class is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels.

Attendance:
The class will begin on time. In order to create a smooth class for my students, I will have to continue forward if a learner arrives late. All of my classes are recorded. If a learner arrives late to the class, I will encourage them to watch the recording after class to catch up on anything they may have missed.

Please note: Each student draws at their own pace. Due to this, they may not finish the drawing in the time we have for the class. However, students will learn valuable techniques they can apply on their own.

No prior knowledge or experience is required. Since this is an ongoing class, students can stop attending at any time.

I’m a professional artist with over 12 years of experience in drawing and painting. I’ve been teaching art since 2021, and my classes are designed to help students of all skill levels feel confident and creative.
