What You Will Learn?

  • Hello Everyone!.
  • The number 1 question any working artist receives must be “What are you inspired by?” People are forever curious about how an artist’s mind works and how they dream up their beautiful artworks, myself included. I see many artworks and wonder “how on Earth did they think of that?!” or "how on Earth did they create that?!" Everyday we are bombarded with amazing designs on all surfaces from our clothing to our cereal boxes. There is no right and wrong when it comes to where we acquire our inspiration but there are a few things to think about when using inspiration..
  • So in this class I’m going to be teaching you the art of inspiration, sharing strategies to create unique works of your own. I will be covering different places you can draw inspiration from, and how to save your inspiration for later. And then I will be taking you step by step as I draw inspiration from photos to create a unique illustration as well as step by step as I use an existing artwork to draw inspiration from and build an entire collection..
