How to Draw Realistic Animals Using Pets
How to Draw Animals + Realistic Shading Techniques
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Welcome to our realistic drawing class for all pet lovers and science nerds alike, where we will learn how to draw realistic animals by using a handful of realistic shading techniques.
This realistic drawing class is perfect for artists looking to build their drawing skills or just to add a few realistic drawing pieces to their art portfolio.
This drawing class is also great for both neurodivergent learners and homeschool families because it promotes the use of affordable materials and is run by a teacher with an adaptive teaching style.
The first half of class will begin with good news and an icebreaker. This will allow all of us to get a better chance to know each other before class begins. Then, we will focus on one particular pet, and we will practice a multitude of realistic drawing techniques under the guidance of a certified art educator.

This section is geared toward minors. If you are over the age of 18 and are interested in taking art classes with me, please contact me via carlys.colorful.corner@gmail.com

FAQs
-
If you did not purchase your class via an ESA account, then the class you are interested in receiving a refund on will be determined on an as-needed basis, as long as the following policies have not been violated:
-
Class will begin on time. If you have issues logging in, please notify me as soon as possible. If I have not been notified within the first ten minutes, then class will be canceled for that week, and no refund will be issued.
Depending on the particular situation, the class itself may be eligible for a refund. However, no-shows or last-minute cancellations will deem the session ineligible for any refunds.
-
In any normal situation students are not allotted a refund for last minute cancellations or for class cancelations that occur due to late arrival or no-shows. In addition, any cancellations that occur a week before the class takes place are eligible for a refund but any made after that will need to be taken under consideration, depending on the current situation.
Emergencies happen, and to account for that, each student is allotted at least one emergency cancellation per semester where they are given the opportunity for a refund.
