Drawing faces can be intimidating for many. You worry about proportion, perspective, shading, angle...The pressure is on as soon as you start drawing, if not before! It’s basically like opening a can of worms. Well, maybe that, could be great starting point. In this class, Esther will walk you through tiny fun exercises of drawing simple faces on a bunch of wormies. There are many reasons why this class great for someone who just got started. For one, The stake is pretty low, because worms don’t have faces, it’s really hard to go wrong. so you are free to use your imagination. Second, you won’t fall into the comparison trap, because not a whole lot of people have drawn faces on worms yet. So the pressure is virtually none.

To kick it up a notch, Esther has also partnered up with her personal favorite professional mockup studio Creatsy (Creatsy.com) to bring your illustrations to life on a can!
