Drawing Faces
Schedule is on the master calendar
Write your awesome label here.
Course overview
We’ll be using alcohol markers, coloured pencils and ballpoint pens to draw all kinds of faces (including animal ones) and expressions, but without any pressure to achieve likeness or create a perfect drawing. You’ll see me make many mistakes in class, but when I do I’ll show you how I resolve them, or simply ignore them. I’ll also be helping you learn to get the best out of your art materials. Most importantly, we’ll be having fun while developing drawing skills.
Materials Needed
Helen uses Copic Markers, ballpoint pens, and colored pencils. Check the class description for what is being used that week.
