July has been BUSY!

Hello beautiful people! This month just flew by! I can't believe tomorrow is August! I have been busy with my online class. It's been a blast. My students are so talented! I am blown away at how quickly they picked up the techniques. I have added new photos of their work HERE. They are drawing up a storm!

I tried taking my art to the streets in an outdoor art fair. It was fun to get out and meet people and see their reactions to my art in person.

It is also that time of the year ago for the Square Foot Art Show. I love being a participant in that art show every summer. Hundreds of artists joining together in one show, each of us painting a one foot square painting.

Another neat thing that happened this month was finding out that my art appeared in the magazine Romantic Homes! There she is, can you spot her?

I am pumped and ready for August. How about you?

And we've only just begun!

I am going to sound like a proud mama right now. The students of my drawing with tascha course are doing AMAZING for just the first week! Check out some of these darling drawings done by my students!

Seriously! How cute are these?!!! We just started and they are already doing so well. There is still time to sign up and join us. The class runs until Sept 1st and the videos are rolled out weekly. All videos stay up for the whole course and can be played over and over again. Plus PDFs to print off and keep! WOOT! sign up here!

Welcome to the e-course you have been asking for!


Bringing characters to life is my passion. There are basic drawing skills that are needed in order to create the character that you can see in your mind's eye. This e-course is a class that teaches step by step instruction in drawing to create cute characters from your imagination, and bring them to life! I will teach you the concepts I use in illustration as it relates to movement and emotion in the character. Once you learn these drawing skills you can use them to draft out your paintings, make illustrations or design children's books! This is a solid foundation for your future illustration projects.


VIDEO 1: Here we go! I will give an intro to supplies. Then we dive right into learning to draw the face, and drawing the face from different angles. Also facial expressions and mood.


VIDEO 2: Now that we have drawing the face, we learn drawing the body from the front. Then drawing the body from the side. Also drawing different clothing.


VIDEO 3: Now we bring the characters to life! Learning drawing the body in motion. Action poses, body posture, and body language.


VIDEO 4: Our little characters will have friends! Learning to draw two figures interacting together and how it tells a story.


VIDEO 5: Finally for fun we learn how to make a few alterations and change our character into an animal! You will see that once you learn the basics, you can draw a wide range of characters.

Learning with Tascha

The class starts on July 14 and will have weekly videos for 5 weeks. I will be keeping the class open until Sept. 1st. During this time you can play the videos as often as you like. The website has a forum where students can discuss projects and ask questions. I encourage students to share their artwork in photos on the website. It's a friendly place where we will all cheer each other on in our artistic development. I will be available if anyone has any questions throughout the semester.
