LLART 306 - Introduction to Drawing Small Animals

Would you love to create a drawing of a beloved pet, but aren't sure where to start (and what about all that fur)? Gain confidence in the techniques needed to draw small animals as you learn from a professional pet portraitist. You'll learn to recognize shapes within your subject and create realistic features using value and texture, as you experiment with a variety of drawing materials in black and white and color. You'll also acquire skills that will help you get to know and develop your own personal style. Classes will begin with a short demonstration and then you'll create work from the exercises provided. Please bring a photo of your pet or any stock photo for reference. This class is intended for students who have taken LLART 68 Beginning Drawing, or have had some introductory drawing experience.
