Let’s Draw Deer! Animal Drawing Workshop
Online (Zoom)
Learn how to draw a selection of deer species with guidance from Tutor Bethany Y Milam. There will be step-by-step demonstrations, exploring anatomy, showing you how to build up sketches using simple shapes, make gesture drawings and a more finished study. You will have the opportunity to draw from a range of photo references. There will be exploration of pencil and charcoal techniques, tone, texture and lots of drawing tips along the way. This workshop is suitable for all, including beginners and the perfect way to practice your drawing skills.
The session will last approximately two hours. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and I will make some time for individual feedback on your artwork at the end of the session (you may need to allow another 15 mins on class time if you would like feedback).
Workshops are recorded and a link will be emailed to participants after the event. If you cannot make the workshop time/date you can still take part by catching up later with the recording, which will also be available for sale from my website.
Please note - the link, meeting ID and passcode to the session and reference photo link will be in the 'additional details' section of your Eticket from Ticketsource.
