Drawing Birds
In this workshop, Adam Ming and Katie Stack will lead you through a series of exercises to draw birds in 5 unique styles!
You will begin with bad drawings (yes, we encourage you to make messy artwork!) Then you’ll get to try paper cutting, geometric stylization, folk art, and even scientific drawing. You will have the opportunity to work across many styles and create 5 finished bird drawings.
By the end, you will have a sketchbook full inspiration and the basis of 5 unique art styles, which can be used again and again in your work. And most importantly… you will have spent an hour drawing for fun while leveling up your skills! That’s what we aim for at the Art Gym. 💪✏️
