DRAW WITH SHIRIN

Drawing Animals in Charcoal:
Learn to draw animals in charcoal. This workshop will guide you through the steps of creating a realistic sketch and applying charcoal textures and shading techniques to produce a finished work. A range of wildlife references will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring in their own photos or request a particular species reference before the class date. Class sizes are kept small to allow for plenty of one-to-one tuition. The workshops can be attended individually, but attending both is recommended for the best experience. 

Drawing Fantasy Creatures:

Creature Concept Design: Learn how to design your very own fantasy creature. Dragons, chimeras, griffins, and creatures unique to your imagination await here. The workshop will focus on realistic techniques and the anatomy of real animals, helping you to create a creature with an essence of believability. You can come prepped with your own creature ideas or be guided in the session to design something on the day. Class sizes are kept small to allow for plenty of one-to-one tuition. The perfect activity for anyone into fantasy and science fiction! Sketching materials, Promarkers and colour pencils for colouring will be available on the day. You are, however, welcome to bring your own drawing materials.

Pet Portraiture:

Learn to draw pets in graphite or colour pencil. This workshop will focus on realism, showing you how to properly proportion your animal’s body and features to achieve their likeness. Perfect for pet lovers of any ability. Maybe your creation could make the perfect Christmas gift? Class sizes are kept small to allow for plenty of one-to-one tuition. The workshops can be attended individually, but attending both is recommended for the best experience. Drawing materials are all provided or you can bring your own sketchbooks and pencils.
