Warm up by drawing circles with a fluid wrist, varying size from big to small. Extend with horizontal or vertical ovals to build steady, fluid motion before you start drawing.
Practice hand-eye coordination with dots and draw lines to train straight strokes. Warm up before drawing to loosen your wrist and notice improvement with each attempt, and have fun.
Practice shading with gradients by drawing hard to light strokes at any angle as a warm up, using dark to light transitions to improve shading for monsters.
Welcome to How To Draw MONSTERS for KIDS!!
This course is designed to take young and new learners through some of the basics of drawing all while helping them learn to copy, and then create, little monsters. There are a number of designs that are fun, but varying in complexity - designed to improve the learners understanding as they progress through the course.
This course can stand on its own, but it is HIGHLY recommended that new learners study How To Draw BASICS for Kids as a prerequisite! You can find it listed in my courses on Udemy. If needed, please feel free to PM the instructor for links.
You'll note that the instructors are a parent/child team, so this course is definitely designed for kids in mind - that includes tempo, material, and language. At over 2 1/2 hours, this course is perfect for new artists of all ages!!! And of course, the banter with this father/daughter team helps to bring the student along in the process - feeling like one of the family.
So join us as we bring these new learners into a new level of enjoyment in their drawing passion.
This course is primarily designed for learners from 7-12, but may be enjoyed by all who are interested.
I notice that many of the reviews are from young students... and they are accidentally hitting an unintended review. Parents, please take a look at the review rating when you can and ensure it matches your intention.
