A creative drawing course exploring how artists observe, understand, and interpret animals through drawing.
Across the two sessions, young creatives will learn how to properly study reference images, explore texture, movement, mark-making, composition, and observational drawing techniques before gradually developing more personal and expressive interpretations in their own work.
We’ll work through ideas together step-by-step, building confidence through guided drawing exercises, experimentation, and creative decision making, while still allowing plenty of space for individuality and imagination to grow throughout the course.
Rather than focusing on copying perfectly, the course encourages young creatives to understand what they are looking at, experiment creatively, and develop drawings with greater confidence, character, and expression.
Young creatives will leave the course with:
-
stronger observational drawing skills
-
a better understanding of texture, movement, and composition
-
increased confidence developing their own creative ideas
-
sketchbook studies and developed animal drawings from across the course
-
new drawing techniques and approaches they can continue using independently at home
Materials
-
Sketchbook or paper
-
Drawing pencils
-
Colouring pencils

How Online Sessions Work
Sessions take place live on Zoom in a calm and supportive small-group environment.
Young creatives are welcome to interact as much or as little as feels comfortable for them. Some love chatting throughout the session, while others prefer to quietly draw along and listen in. The Zoom chat box is always a lovely way for everyone to share ideas, ask questions, and get involved in a way that feels natural to them.
Perfect for creative children who love animals, drawing, and experimenting creatively while building real artistic skills.
