Hello everyone,

Hope you’re doing well and finding time to express your creativity between all your other responsibilities. I’m jumping in your mailbox with highlights of student work from Dynamic Portraits, Bring Your Characters to Life class. I’m simply blown away by the unique approach each and every one of you express in your work, every time students share their project in one of my classes!

Student Projects

Thank you all for being such wonderful and dedicated art students!

While working on creating a class for you, I really can only guess where my students would take it (that’s something I’m soooo loving! I think we all learn from sharing one another’s projects). So let me share some behind-the-scenes look into my planning process, because I’m often struggling with finding a balance between explaining every imaginable aspect of the work in class versus simply opening up to showing you my full drawing process. For instance, Dynamic Portraits class follows up on the longer, more comprehensive Dancing Characters class, which is all about the principals of drawing poses, finding your style and illustrating a character. But seeing your all’s reviews and projects, I learn that the shorter hands-on class works better for you. So yes, you all teach me a lot as well!

In case you haven’t already checked it out, in my new class Gouache Landscapes we travel the world from our drawing chair. Hope I managed to find that balance I just mentioned as I’m super excited about this class! It is so very colorful and shows you many techniques in Procreate gouache painting. Notice the wording, “Painting” rather than “illustrating”? This is an artsy class that will inspire you to get more in touch with your painting-loving self. Go ahead and check it out.

ONE LAST THING…
