Furry Fun

I wasn't able to be present for all of the sessions from start to finish, but when I was able to join the classes I really enjoyed Isobel's instruction. I love drawing fur and I always enjoy taking classes in how to render it, particularly when white or black fur is covered, because that is so challenging. I learned new techniques and tips to get realistic looking fur, in solid, stripes, spots, and long wavy hair like a lion's mane. Isobel is a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher, and has great methods for creating fur in colored pencil. She is thorough and patient, and in addition to the videos themselves, she included written notes on the techniques covered in the class sessions. Thank you, Isobel! I highly recommended Isobel's classes.

Fur Series class was excellent and so beneficial!

Isobel's skill in teaching others to draw animals is exemplary! I signed up for her Fur Series class as I want to draw a dog portrait and my usual subject matter is concrete and steel. In her class Isobel covered techniques, tools and tips to achieve desired results in drawing many different types, colors and textures of fur. Her emphasis on blending, use of tonal values and pencil pressure and sharpness are most helpful. After each class her video was posted along with her notes showing the drawing progression with each step which I found and continue to find most helpful. Isobel answered my questions with very detailed responses and these tips will guide me in my drawing of any subject going forward. Isobel is delight to have as an instructor and her colored pencil drawing enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you to all who made this course available. Highly recommend!
