Draw Simple, Interesting Trees (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,
Draw Simple, Interesting Trees (Skillshare)

Trees are wonderful objects to draw and paint, one can never get bored by them because they are out there in so many shapes and kinds! And this class is all about trees. It is the first one of two classes about trees (second one featuring watercolors), and in this class we are going to create first simple, and then a bit more advanced drawings of different tree types, just to make ourselves familiar with them.

We are only going to be using regular pencil and any kind of paper you have at home, you do not need anything special.
This class is suitable for beginners who would like to learn how to turn simple geometric shapes into more realistic trees, and also for those of you who are – just like me – always happy to draw a new, interesting tree.
No surprises – our Special project is going to include a tree :) But not just any tree, it is your favorite tree! Do you have any? Or maybe there is some interesting tree growing just outside your window. Take a walk, take some nice pictures to get inspired, or just stay home, make yourself a nice cup of tea and choose a reference photo from the Project section, I uploaded loads of them for you.
And do not forget to share your drawings!

Embrace the Artist In You: 5 Simple Activities to Give You Freedom to Explore Your Creative Side (Skillshare)

Have you ever said, "I'm not an artist" or "I can't draw"? Or have you ever created a piece of artwork and then you looked at it and thought, "my artwork is no good, there's something wrong with it." Not long ago, I said these same things. My turning point came when my nieces taught me that art can be fun and it doesn't have to be expensive.
