In this class I will show you how to draw a branch of cotton from scratch, and achieve great results using a minimum of materials.
*If you are a beginner or if you haven't tried markers before, please take my first class:

in which I talk in detail about markers, paper, and additional stuff, and show some basic techniques to work with professional markers.

This class is a step-by-step tutorial. We’ll go through the whole drawing process from pencil sketch to fine detail illustration of a cotton branch. By the end of this class, you will be able to complete a finely detailed sketch illustration.

The main feature of this class is that you will learn how to create a full-fledged sketch illustration using a limited palette of colors.

I’ll use alcohol-based markers. Of course, you can use your favorite tools, like watercolors or color pencils for example, and you are free to mix them, it’s always fun and you can achieve great results.

If you would like to digitize your final result, sell your art online or take a great photo of your artwork for Instagram, check out my other classes on these topics:

Happy to see you here! I really appreciate your positive review and feedback.

And, as usual, I'm always here to help you)
