Welcome to our Drawing Animals Graphite Course
Learn to draw and proportion, use tonal values, mark making and negative drawing or rendering using a putty rubber to create fur and all kinds of creature details.
Using the pre recorded video allows more time to really grasp the fundamentals of a subject, giving your drawing the opportunity to progress to another level!
In addition you have access to a Moving Animals video, a quick 10 mins drawing exercise, to help you simplify and familiarise the shapes a moving animal makes! Don’t spend too long on it, draw one and move onto the next. Its a good loosening up exercise before the longer drawing.
Please use the following passwords to access your video content, please note they are case sensitive:
Animal Drawing: Markings (Video length:59 mins)
Animals Moving : Fetch (Video length:10 mins)
Don’t forget to watch the video on full screen! Enter your password then click on the square icon (bottom right) to enter and exit full screen mode. You may need to turn the sound on – roll over the top right of the screen and the sound button will appear.
We hope you enjoy your drawing course! If you have any queries please contact us via email.
We’d love to see your creations, feel free to send your drawings in to us to feature on our social media!
Many thanks and happy drawing!
