YOUR PROJECT FOR THIS CLASS

Your project for this class is to draw a bird, or birds, full of texture and volume!
If you're up for it, you can design it as a presentation in Canva and follow the steps described below to complete your project.

You’re welcome to follow along, drawing a kingfisher and a parrot or selecting a bird you choose. This class is designed using Procreate, but you can follow along using regular paper and pencil, too!

STEPS TO COMPLETE YOUR PROJECT

Throughout the class, you'll complete several stages

1. Learn the fundamentals

Complete all the “Sketching Fundamentals” exercises covered in the first part of the class. Whilst it is not mandatory, you can export these images and share them with your final project.

2. Draw your final bird or birds! The more, the better.

In the second part of the class, you’ll get to put into practice all the learned concepts whilst drawing two birds: A parrot and a Kingfisher.

You can draw a different bird if you prefer. Head over to Pexels or Unsplash and search for your reference images.

While drawing your birds, I’ll ask you to take a screenshot after each stage and document your drawing process from start to finish. You can export these images as JPG if you prefer!

Please upload them along with the final bird, as I’d love to see how you followed and learned all the sketching fundamentals taught in the first part of the class.

Personalise your birds with eyes in various styles!

There is a whole lesson where I teach how to draw eyes in various styles to achieve different bird personalities.
If you decide to try a few, please export them as JPGs or take a screenshot and share your images with the rest of your project.

3. Design with your bird illustrations

Take the bonus lesson, where you can combine your illustrations with text using Canva. If you make any, please share it as well!

5. Publish Your Project!

Upload all your images into the project gallery of this class.

6. Share on Social Media
