Drawing Animals in Pen and Ink: How to Achieve Realistic Textures in Your Drawings
Carl Wilson, Pencil, ink, and paint artist
About This Class
About This Class
If you love drawing in pen and ink - or are completely new – and find it challenging to create realistic animal textures or aren’t sure where to start, this class is for you!
In this class, sit back and relax as you join me in learning how to create a variety of realistic animal textures in pen and ink - such as different kinds of hair, fur, and others - that will make your drawings come to life and pop with realism!

In this class, you'll easily learn:
- basics about pen and ink drawing such as ink, tools, and drawing papers
- Mark-making with pen and ink (hatching is the name of the game!)
- How to lay out a rough sketch for your ink drawing (also called the under-drawing)
- Laying down the ink
- Textures (what you're really here for!)
Once we’ve covered the material in easy-to-follow lessons, you’ll be creating:
Your OWN animal drawing using the techniques and textures you’ve learned from this class.
Even if you’re new to drawing animals in pen and ink (or new to pen and ink drawing period!), you’ll find these simple and effective techniques easy to use and apply to your work!
All you need is some paper and ink pens (or black liners/fine liners).
So let’s get drawing! Can’t wait to see what you create!
Remember - I'm here to help you along the way ..
