Freehand Drawing Mini-Workshops
Let's learn the skills and techniques to freehand draw anything!
This monthly workshop covers one topic per month, from the basics of using graphite pencils to drawing human portraits!
Age
Workshops are open to anyone who wants to draw and learn freehand drawing art from age 10 through adults. If you are a beginner or new to graphite pencil art, start from the Introduction to Graphite Pencil workshop.
Art LeveL
All art styles, skill levels, and art goals are welcome. If you are new to graphite pencil, I highly recommend taking the Introduction to Graphite Pencil workshop before taking other workshops. Each workshop builds skillsets needed for the next workshop.
Flexibility
Pick your workshop from two available session times! All workshops are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. All classes are 2 hours long, and it is $46/class.
Need more time to finish your work? Join the 2-hour open studio class in the following week for more individualized instructions.
Location
All workshops and open studio classes are held at Tanigawa Studio in downtown McKinney TX.

Mastering Facial Features
The next 7 workshops will focus on everything you need to know about drawing human portraits. We will learn how to draw each facial feature first, then combine everything we learned into practice in the last two workshops.
