You will learn how to use a few key techniques that are easily adaptable for a wide range of your favorite characters. Learn how to use one-strokes to contour effectively and quickly while keeping your hands clean. Then take the designs to the next level with optional details that are sure to impress. This will be a HANDS-ON workshop. Please do not be shy and come prepared to paint regardless of your experience or level of painting. I am here to help!
