In this class you will learn some key skills and techniques that you can apply to your own pet portraits to make them look realistic and eye-catching.

I would recommend that you use a range of 6H-6B pencils, as well as blending stumps, a kneaded putty rubber, an electric eraser, a white pen and some drawing paper.

We will go through each stage of the drawing journey, starting by choosing the best reference picture for us to draw from. I will then take you through each stage of drawing, starting with the eyes and choosing the order of what you draw with based on which hand you draw with.

Some key techniques that you will learn are:

- Scratch technique

- Layering of harder pencils onto softer pencils

- Creating highlights to give depth

- Creating textures using blending and shading

 So....lets get started!
