Drawing is a form of therapy–it’s a way to disconnect from the world, and reconnect with your well-being. Illustrator and musician Eva Redamonti always starts her process by listening to music, relaxing, and allowing her subconscious to manifest on the blank page. Her work has been featured in publications like Juxtapoz Magazine and The New York Times, and has collaborated with clients like Adobe and Medium.

In this online course, you will learn how to draw surreal illustrations by combining multiple perspectives and imagery. Explore pencil and inking techniques that allow you to give shape to your imagination. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to use patterns and lines to create dreamlike compositions.
