In this Skillshare class, you will learn the processes and techniques that go into creating a realistic and striking piece of art work. Even an experienced artist can struggle with concepts such as composition and creating depth and texture and these are some of the things that we will be covering in this class.  However, if you are beginner why not give it a try as you may be surprised at what you can achieve as we will cover every aspect of the creation process.

Jamie has created on on-line course showing how to draw a baby Rhino.  The course starts by using a system to build the initial sketch that can be used when learning to draw, and as confidence and experience are gained can be relied on less and less, ultimately leading to working freehand.  Unlike most of Jamie's pictures the skin texture is not embossed into the paper but is is a much looser less detailed picture relying on strong contrast and using simple patterns to create the illusion of texture and shape.  

The course is an hour in length with downloadable reference photographs to work from and is suitable for artists of all levels.

If you are interested, the course is available on SkillShare and if you decide to use this link to sign up you get 1 month free of SkillShare free..
