Drawing for Beginners: Learn to draw animals and capture the gesture

In the time that I have spent teaching art I have noticed many of my students really enjoy painting and coloring. However they do not enjoy drawing and sketching as much. Drawing is very important to learn and develop. For many, myself included, it can be difficult to learn. It took me many years to get good at sketching.

I invite you to learn animal gesture drawing. This method involves capturing the flow or gesture of the creature. In the class we will go over the basic materials you’ll need, we’ll do a warm-up and then we will do 3 gesture drawing.

The 3 reference photos I will be working from are provided for you to download in the class resources section.
