Get outside. Follow your inspiration. Create a minimalist illustration that is authentically yours.

In today’s increasingly digital world of illustration, it is crucial to develop off-the-screen habits to develop truly personal, meaningful work. Join street illustrator and muralist Eric Friedensohn (@Efdot) for an immersive class that takes us out into our environment to spark visual creativity.

Participants will learn how to find inspiration in everyday life and turn it into a unique art piece that tells a story, using only the bare essentials: pencils, pens and a sketchbook. 

In this class, we will:

• Explore the "open" creative mode - letting our creative flow with a series of pencil-to-paper warm-up exercises


• Overcome perfectionism - drawing with speed over quality first 


• Practice the art of subtraction -  creating a simplified image that lets the viewer fill in the gaps


• Refine our ideas - narrowing down our sketches into a refined final composition in Adobe Fresco


• Add in lettering - exploring different lettering approaches to strengthen the story in our illustrations


• Develop our unique style - tapping into our own stories and inspirations to hone in a unique visual identify for our illustrations

This class is for beginner to intermediate artists and graphic designers looking to elevate their drawing skills and get back to basics.
