Summer Art Camp: Hybrid Animal Pen Drawing

In this class, we will work on creating our own hybrid animals by combining two or more existing creatures to make our own fantasy animal! We will begin by using a rough pencil outline to draw up our animal ideas on a 9x12" piece of paper. Once we have the rough draft finished, we will go in with a ballpoint pen to outline, shade and add details. Students will be able to take their projects home after completion. 

Students are encouraged to bring their cell phones, tablet, or laptop to google different reference images. If this is not an option, please pick a few reference photos ahead of class and email them to nuveen@artswhitelake.org. Otherwise, we do have some National Geographic magazines from which you can draw inspiration. 

Class minimum: 4

Class maximum: 10
