BONUS WORKSHOPS
Below you’ll find some workshops I’ve previously taught that cover some of the other species depicted in The Lion King movies.
#1: Wildebeest (and other species of African cattle family members)
In this workshop, you’ll learn about the members of the cattle family that make up the herds of grazing mammals that roam the African savannas, such as buffalo, wildebeest, hartebeest, impala, kudu, nyala, duiker, gazelle, eland, springbok, dik-dik, klipspringer, bontebok, oryx, antelope and more! Then I’ll lead you in several step-by-step sketching demonstrations to create your own realistic drawings of these iconic species of the African plains.
