LLART 306 - Drawing Animals and Small Critters

You know your pet's face better than anyone else does; why not learn how to draw those adorable features with the guidance of a professional pet portraitist? You'll gain confidence in techniques like drawing fur, recognizing shapes within your subject, and creating realistic features using value and texture. Using materials in both black and white and color, you'll explore and develop your own personal style. Each class will begin with a short demonstration, after which you'll create work from the provided exercises or from your own photos for reference. Please bring two 5x7" photos to use as references (of your pet or a stock photo), one in black and one in color. This class is intended for students with some introductory drawing experience.
