How to Draw Feathers

This class is all about drawing feathers! If you are a beginner or have some experience in drawing this class is just for you.

Graphite might seem like a boring medium but it can also be a lot of fun. It's also a wonderful tool for beginners to start learning to draw. The pencil, unlike watercolor, will not give us unexpected surprises and is very easy to control once you learn the basics. And this class is meant just for that!

I will walk you through four different feather drawings, step by step and one feather at a time, and by the end of the course your hand will have more confidence in creating the beautiful marks on the paper. Of course, practice makes perfect, and practising to draw feathers simply makes it more fun.

This class if perfect for any beginner. Do not get discouraged if this is the very fist time you are holding a pencil in your hand. I m here to guide you and give you all the support and advice you need to get started!
