Project 1 is about anatomy

Each week we are going to go deep on a particular piece of animal and bird anatomy - from antlers to feathers, noses to toeses. I hope you get as mesmerised by the incredibly intricate details as I do!

This project is for all skill levels, and will empower you to start to really delve into deep observation.

You can do this is individual sketches, one per page, or pull them all in together on a double page spread.

I will be doing them in graphite, but you may want to use a single coloured pencil.

There are no rules!

You get to make this adventure one that feels expansive to you.

Below is a little video about this project, then each session has it’s own videos!

Scroll down to the reference - you can directly download the cropped images I am using, or you can go get the entire reference if you feel drawn (!!) to rendering more of these gorgeous beings.
