Nature-Inspired Design: Botanical Character Illustration

In this class, you will be immersed in the world of botanical character illustrations. You will learn to intricately capture the beauty of plants, flowers, and trees. The class will teach you how to pick the right references, trace, break, simplify, and then combine them to create your own creature.

You will derive the botanical elements to draw characters, using the main principles of the design: silhouettes, color palettes, and exaggeration. This course will enable you to breathe life into your creatures and connect with the natural world. This class is designed to teach new methods for creating and illustrating characters, especially for beginners.

Redefining Goals: 8 Simple Exercises to Uncover your New Path

Sometimes all of us need life changes. Priorities and goals alter over time, and the things we wanted three years ago, might not align with our lives now. With this class, I will be sharing the simple techniques I came up with over time, which helped me make adjustments to my life paths and goals. 

During this class, we will use three templates and 8 simple exercises to uncover our current wants, needs, skills, dreams, and more. Then we will combine and prioritize them to define new ways. Finally, we will briefly discuss the sources which will help us reach them. At the end of the class, you will have a list of skill sets you can develop to redefine your new life path.

This class is for everyone curious about exploring new ways to improve their everyday lives.

So, get ready, and let's get started: https://skl.sh/3j7BEXH
