Throughout the session, we’ll explore different drawing and painting mediums so you can discover which best suits your style and your subject. Using step-by-step guidance and simple observation techniques, students will learn how to build a portrait from basic shapes through to expressive detail. We’ll look at animal proportions, facial structure, fur texture, shading, and expression to help bring your pet to life on the page. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with a range of traditional mediums, including pencil, pen, charcoal, pastel etc. Working from reference photos (please bring a photo of your pet), you’ll learn how artists construct a portrait through observation, layering, and experimentation. This workshop is perfect for animal lovers, beginners, and anyone curious about exploring different ways of drawing and painting pets. Afternoon: Bring your cat and dog illustrations to life in this hands-on workshop. We’ll start with pencil sketches, exploring pet anatomy, fur patterns, expression, and composition. Next, students will learn how to transform these sketches into polished graphic designs using a range of creative materials. Finally, we’ll use AI tools to create digital designs that can be applied to products such as fabric, stationery, and accessories. Each student will take home mockups of their designs on products, giving their creations a professional, real-world finish. Perfect for aspiring graphic designers, illustrators, and pattern makers, this session blends art and AI, teaching students how to turn their love of pets into original designs — and even products they could go on to sell.
