Here is how my students build their foundation in sketching and shading. ## Photos and videos - [Video: It brings me so much joy to see my youngest students create amazing art.

It turns an intimidating task into a logical puzzle, so even an 8-year-old can see their own progress as they map out features like eyes and noses. Art is about confidence. When a child sees they can actually render a realistic face, it changes their approach to everything else. In my Indiranagar studio, I run small batches of just 3 to 5 students. This allows me to sit with each child and guide their hand, correct their pencil pressure, and help them understand why a shadow falls a certain way. We focus on the basics first: graphite pencils, the grid technique, and understanding light and shadow. Whether your child is a complete beginner or has been doodling for years, these 10-hour modules are designed to build a solid foundation. We move through facial anatomy step by step, ensuring they do not just copy an image, but actually learn how to see and draw it. For students ready to move beyond graphite, we eventually introduce charcoal for high-contrast textures. ## About Jeeva Kumari I’m Jeeva. I believe art is for everyone, and watching a student realize they can actually draw a face is the best part of my day. Whether it's charcoal or pencil, I’m here to guide them through the process.
