About this collection
In my sketching classes, we don't just copy pictures; we break down complex textures like fur, feathers, and wrinkles into simple, manageable lines. You will work with charcoal or pencil, starting with basic shapes, so you build real muscle memory rather than just relying on natural talent.
Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced hobbyist looking to refine your strokes, this is a space where we focus on technique, not perfection. When drawing animals, the magic is in the details—the intensity in a tiger's gaze, the softness of a bird’s feathers, or the rugged skin of a rhino.
My Approach to Sketching
In our sessions, I guide you through the process of observing light and shadow. We start with the basics—grip correction and stroke practice—before moving into specific mediums.
- Charcoal & White Charcoal: This is my personal favorite for animals. It creates dramatic, high-contrast images that really pop off the paper.
- Pen Rendering: We use expressive, quick lines to capture the movement and power of subjects like lions.
- Graphite Pencil: Perfect for fine detail work, like the intricate patterns on a parrot's feathers.
Who This Is For
My studio in Sobha Silicon Oasis is a home for everyone. We keep batches small (4 to 8 students), which means I can give you personal attention, whether you are a kid just picking up a pencil or an adult looking for a relaxing escape from the daily grind.
Practical Details
- Location: Offline classes at my home studio near Hosa Road, Electronic City, or online via video call.
- Supplies: Please carry your own A3/A4 sketchbook, basic pencil set (HB to 6B), eraser, and sharpener.
- Atmosphere: We keep things light. There is always a bit of laughter and 'masti' mixed in, because art should feel like a break, not a chore. If you have ever wanted to draw but felt intimidated by the blank page, come as you are.
