Art Gym Instant Access: Bugs at a Party Workshop

In this workshop,

and will lead you through a series of exercises to draw bugs!

This workshop was recorded on the 26th of September 2025.

And a new trend seems to be emerging where families are bringing their kids to art gym! We love seeing everyone’s drawing at the end, I know we had at least 3 kids in this live session. We make art gym to be fun and educational for all levels.

But we never really planned it for kids, so seeing them come along is really rewarding!

The kids loved draeing bugs, maybe because….

Bugs are fascinating and beautiful, and not scary at all! (at least not in this workshop)

What You’ll Learn:

  • We will warm up with some bug doodles!

  • You will study drawing some bug anatomy!

  • Learn about simplifying and stylising drawing bugs!

  • You will walk away with your own fun-looking bugs at a party!

  • You will learn a composition exercise to set the stage for the party!

The Benefits:

  • Bugs and foliage can bu used in almost any setting!

  • You will add a number of new skills to your aresnal, I know we’re draing bugs but these are skills that you will be able to apply to many other aspects of your drawing

  • Time to connect with fellow illustrators in a supportive space, more and more kids are joining in too with their parents!
