In this 6-week class, students will explore illustration through a narrative lens. Using a variety of materials including inks, students will build on basic drawing skills by learning to draw with reference photos and physical objects to develop their own illustration aesthetic. Participants can expect to finish this class with the knowledge of how to use reference photos more effectively, strategies for page composition, and techniques to create stories with their works. This class is perfect for those with an interest in book illustration, storytelling, design, or a desire to improve their drawing skills. No experience required and all supplies included!
