Drawing Mini-Course Safari Animals: Preclass

Welcome to pre-class!

This intermediate course needs pencils and sketchbooks – if you’ve taken the prerequisite Drawing 101 course, you’ll have almost everything! We’ll have two lessons using Conte Sketching Pencils, that’s all that’s new.

(There’s no preclass video for MiniCourses. See Drawing 101 for an overview of supplies.)

• White Pitt Pastel Pencils – Medium hardness and Soft
• **NEW FOR THIS COURSE: Conte Sketching Pencils in black (2B) and sanguine.
