Illustrative drawing techniques

A  two hour workshop where you will explore different illustrative drawing techniques, which can be applied for a range of disciplines (ceramic, digital art, drawing, printmaking, painting, animating).

You will explore the idea of developing an original style and how to build on what you already do instinctively.

You will draw some fun objects, and figure out ways to tranform them using your eyes, brain, heart and hands! Participants are invited to bring a small object they find beautiful or intriguing, (to draw from) and their favourite art supplies (pen, pencil, ink, brush).
