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. ## About Shikha Goel I’m Shikha. For me, sketching nature is pure therapy, and I love helping my students find that same peace. Whether you're drawing your first bird or shading a complex landscape, I'm right there with you, making sure we have plenty of laughs while we learn.
