If you love drawing with ink pens and want to bring your illustrations to another level, this class is for you! In this class you will learn how to make complex and detailed line art and dot work drawings from your imagination. I broke down the creative process in 5 simple steps after many years (my whole life!) of trials and errors practicing the art of drawing to make it easy for you!

What you will learn:

Express an idea or feeling in your drawing: Do you sometimes feel like drawing but can't come up with a good idea? Do you want to express your feelings, but don't know how to? In our first lesson I teach my simple process to develop a concept from your imagination using visualizations exercises, associations and reference research.

Pencil sketching: I will share my process to put the first lines on paper with pencil. Positioning is everything!

Outlining your sketch with ink: Time to make decisions about your drawing. What stays and what goes? Is the drawing balanced or does it need more or less details?

Creating unique textures and patterns: Get inspired by life and nature to create the movement you want in your drawing. I will share my favorite textures using simple lines, circles and scales. Feel free to copy them or get creative and come up with your own!

Add light and shadow to create depth: The difference between beginner and advanced drawing lies in the ability to create depth in your artwork. I will teach you my process to build the contrast with beautiful shadows and give you practical techniques to apply to your drawing using lines and dots. Here you will learn how to make your drawing pop from the paper!

Even if you are new to drawing with ink pens, you'll find that this process is simple and easy to apply to your art!

About your instructor:

Hi everyone! My name is Giovana, I am a Brazilian artist living in Canada, and drawing is my lifelong passion. I've experimented with almost every medium there is, but drawing with ink pens has been one of my favorites for years. I like how such a simple material can produce very deep and complex artworks. Today I work as a graphic designer, illustrator and holistic therapist helping others communicate with themselves through self awareness and art!
