Sketching Animal Eyes (Video #5)

Feel free to sketch along with this lesson exploring various animal eye shapes to get a better feel for how to approach such a wide array of animals. You may upload these to your Class Project if you like.

Class Project (Video #6-10)

This class has a choose-your-own-adventure feel in that students may choose between one, some, or all four real-time tutorials within the class. The demonstrations include the eyes of a beautiful domestic house cat, a regal peacock, a baby basilisk lizard, and unique looking toad. However, if none of these animals call to you, students may still apply the techniques learned in this class to an animal of their own choosing. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with in the Class Project section!
