ANIMAL DRAWING ● JOE WEATHERLY
Come and learn animal drawing and morphology.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In this intensive “Animal Drawing” course with Joe Weatherly, the emphasis will be on learning to draw animals by understanding action, analyzing form, construction and simplified anatomy.
We will focus on four main animal groups: equine, canine, bovine and feline. These will form the basis for learning to draw any animal. We’ll learn to draw from the inside out, acquiring a working knowledge of the skeleton and the main muscle groups.
LEVEL
Fundamental ● Intermediate ● Advanced
PRE-REQUISITE
Have a solid foundation in drawing.
