Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Beginner - Advanced Level
This class is for kids who love drawing and sketching realistic people, original characters (OCs), manga, or hybrid designs. With a focus on nurturing your child's drawing skills, I emphasize essential techniques like proportion, texture and shading while encouraging their imagination. 

Each week, students will have the chance to vote on different body parts, dynamic poses, or styles to explore, ensuring a learner-based experience. My comprehensive instruction includes interactive live sessions that provide real-time guidance and feedback, making it suitable for all skill levels—from beginners to advanced artists. 

I am a Outschool Star Educator with over 10 years of experience teaching art in public schools and as a homeschool mom. Parents praise my kindness, clear instructions, and ability to engage students, making this class an excellent way to develop essential skills such as fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and critical thinking while freely expressing themselves artistically.

Please note that a camera is required for participation, and each sibling or co-learner must enroll separately.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their overall drawing skills while focusing on the line, texture, value/shading, proportion and perspective.
