About the class

Usually, many people think that pastels are suitable for drawing landscapes, and they only think it's difficult. The pastels we commonly think of as painting landscapes are reminiscent of a square stick shape, but pencil pastels are in the shape of a pencil, so anyone can easily handle them. It's a material where you can enjoy both the color of pastel and the convenience of colored pencils. It's easier to make sophisticated expressions than square pastels, so beginners can easily draw portraits of pets.

In this class with me, I will start with the theoretical content and basic techniques of pastel

I'm planning to draw portraits of all 4 dogs and cats: Bichon Frise, Korean Shorthair, Shih Tzu, and American Shorthair.

What makes this class special

All about pencil pastels!

Let's take a look at the various types of pastels and learn more about the pencil pastels we use together. After looking at the paper suitable for pastel paintings, we can learn basic pastel techniques, how to blend naturally, and even how to store them.

Drawing starts by selecting a photo

What's as important as drawing is finding a picture that shows a pretty image of our dog or cat. I'll learn how to choose the most suitable photo when drawing a portrait of a dog or cat, and I'll teach you how to see the contrast and color in a photo and how to place the photo in an appropriate position on the paper. After choosing a photo, you can also learn how to draw a portrait sketch in the easiest way using the selected photo.

Learn how to draw dog and cat portraits step by step

Step 4: Chapters 4 and 5 are taught as a basic portrait in four steps: sketching - basic coloring - drawing eyes, nose, and mouth - finishing. You can draw a Bichon Frise puppy and a Korean Shorthair cat.

Step 5: Chapters 6 and 7 are advanced portrait stages where you draw shih tzu and American shorthair through five steps: sketching - basic coloring - drawing eyes, nose, and mouth - detailing hair - and finishing. You can go further from the basic level and learn about furry expressions in detail.

From the basics to the deepening of portraits of my beloved pets! Let's draw step by step with me.

I recommend it to those who want to experience new materials, those who want to learn how to draw dogs and cats, and those who want to draw their own portraits of their beloved dogs and cats.
