We will draw from observation, imagination, and reference images, experimenting with techniques used by illustrators to create expressive, engaging artwork. Once we are acquainted with the basics, we’ll move toward creative exercises designed to spark narrative ideas—we may do things like illustrate existing stories or poems or practice doing daily diaries, as well as look at the work of existing illustrators for inspiration.
Prior drawing experience is not required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore. And for people with established artistic practices, this class could be a chance to reassess drawing habits and try something new.
