Classes
Here Be Monsters: Creature Design + Illustration
Learn to design and illustrate monsters. We’ll study mythological beasts, and generate ideas by coming up with our own composite animals. Drawing on ideas from naturalism and botanical illustration, as well as illuminated manuscripts and bestiaries, we’ll imagine and illustrate some monsters of our own!

About the Instructor
Jamie Douglas
Hello! I’m Jamie, an illustrator, cartoonist and obsessive sketch-booker living in Richmond, Virginia. Whether based in personal experience or plucked from impossible dreamscapes, my art is narrative and imaginitive. It's often full of tiny details and humor. I was born in 1988 and I haven’t stopped drawing since. My go-to drawing supplies are the super thick & juicy 1.6 mm Bic Cristal pens (black ink), and those whiteout correction pen things.
