Drawing Skulls with Emilie
Description
In this hands-on class, Emilie introduces you to the fun of drawing skulls: humans and animals, realistic and stylised!
Drawing skulls and bones is a great way to make progress in your drawing skills, from an anatomical approach. Bones are under the skin after all, so why not start there!
But skulls are also fascinating objects that can constitute a subject matter in themself. We’ll look at the great tradition of vanity and memento mori drawings and painting and try some easy exercises to get started on your own project.
We’ll also look at animal skulls and how they can constitute a great drawing exercise and well as a creative project in themself.
No experience required, this is a completely beginner friendly class! If you haven’t held a pencil in a decade, this class is for you !
