Animals Speed Sketching Workshop, Aug 20th, Sat 11am

Love sketching animals but can't seem to get the proportions right? or you get them right but want to make your strokes bold and beautiful? Don't worry, I'm not going to give you a complex list of proportions and rules to follow when drawing different animals. Instead using fundamental concepts of drawing along with techniques and tricks that I've found useful, I'll take you through a step by step process of drawing animals in a simple but effective way.

This will be a completely do-it-along-with-me workshop, so you have to be ready to get your hands dirty. We will be going through techniques, exercises & draw along examples so make sure you have all the materials ready.

Ages: This workshop is for adults because it will be fast paced but kids above 10 yrs who can keep up with the pace can also register.
