The learning never stops even with the sheltering-in! Academy of Art University has a slew of cool virtual events lined up for you so you can keep sharpening your skills. First up on the list is a workshop with none other than School of Game Development alumni and instructor, and Drawaholics creator, Michael Buffington.

In this 90-minute interactive online workshop, you will learn how to improve your techniques drawing heads. Doesn’t matter whose—it can be of your favorite video game characters, comics, TV shows, or even your selfie.  

What’s guaranteed is that it’ll be a fun, new way expressing your art, while also upgrading your talent level at the same time. Now, you’ll be doing this in the comforts of your own home or dorm room, but that’s not to say you can slack off.

Come prepared to the session with the required tools so you can follow the activities smoothly: pen, paper, notebooks, digital tablets. Oh, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #headsketchchallenge when you share your work on Facebook and Instagram! We’ll be on the lookout for those so tag away so we can share on our channels as well.
