In this relaxing and beginner-friendly class, you'll learn a fundamental ability for any artist - quickly capturing what you see in an accurate sketch.
Regardless of your favorite medium or subject, pencil sketching is a highly valuable skill that will make you a better artist. This class is for you if you're a beginner, wanting to improve your basic sketching and drawing skills. Or if you're a painter who wants to learn how to sketch out your paintings quicker and more accurately.
You'll learn some effective exercises that help build your sketching technique and hand-eye coordination. From holding the pencil, to looking at your subject, to capturing gesture and movement. You'll also practice seeing light and shadow, and eye measuring your subjects for better likeness.
We're not aiming for photo realism or "pretty drawings" in this class. Instead, we're going for quick, loose and expressive sketches that develop your visual language and style and allow you lots of freedom if you want to turn your sketches into a fully developed drawings or paintings.
My aim with the class is to make you more confident with your pencil, able to draw anything you want with greater accuracy and efficiency!
