About Course

Introduction

In this workshop we’ll learn to draw an adorable young giraffe.
We’ll break down each step, starting by creating the outline using a tin of beans! Each process is broken down into easy to manage sections. This giraffe is full of character and easy to draw when you know how.

You can complete this workshop in your own time. Our materials list is a guideline but really you can use whatever materials you might have in your possession.

I’ve got some handy tips for you:

  • Do take your time and don’t rush.
  • Pause the video if it goes too fast for you. Speed it up if it goes too slow.
  • Keep your pencils sharp.
  • Keep a separate sheet of paper handy to test techniques on before working on your master, if you aren’t sure how it will look.
  • Try not to be critical of your work as you won’t see the best results until the very last step.

And most importantly, enjoy the process!
