Class Description

Want to design your very own creature for your next campaign? Or maybe you'd like to be Dr. Frankenstein and make a monster of your own. Join Vincent in this unique illustration class as he discusses on designs, animal anatomy, mythology, and how an environment can help design for your curious creation. This class is two consecutive Mondays. On the first week, students will be coming up with designs with Vincent's help and drawing the line art. For the second day, students will be adding color and texture your said creation with simple ways to paint fur, feathers, and scales. Beginners and intermediate drawing skills are welcome to sign up.

Aimed at teens & adults, but capable tweens welcome. Ages 12-13 welcome with paying adult.
