In this 30 minute class, Sarah Nelson uses endangered species to teach pen and marker drawing techniques. The skill sets covered in this course can be used to empower your self expression and creative career!

Sarah has structured this class to empower every skill level to learn and complete the class project.

This is the perfect class for anyone looking to improve their drawing skills, learn a new medium, or learn how to draw wildlife!

Follow the course straight through to learn how to draw all three textures and master the marker blending tutorials. Or, pick your species type and follow the Seven Colored Tanager, Green Sea Turtle, or Polar Bear to the end! Return at your own pace to hone in each species, like a 'Choose Your Own Adventure'!

Each stage includes detailed worksheets, notes, and practice sheets for you to truly hone in each technique.

For a comprehensive list on recommended marker colors for each species, or a generally recommended color list, check out the Marker List PDF in the Class Resource section!

Materials:

Smooth Drawing Paper (I love Bristol's Smooth Drawing Paper - or Legion Paper's Stonehenge)
Pencil + Eraser
005 Micron Pen (black ink)
Variety of Fine Art Markers with Brush Tip (Copic Sketch markers are my personal choice)
- ** see color recommendations PDF under Class Resources

By the end of the course you will know:

- How to draw proportionately

- How to use pen to create value

- How to create feathers, scales and fur using pen

- AND how to blend markers and bring your drawings to life

These techniques empowered Sarah to start her own creative business and to work full time as a visual artist. Her students have used these skillsets to do the same - which means so can YOU!

Please take some time to review the class, reach out with any questions, and most importantly:
