Meet your instructor Demi. Illustrator.
Demi initially studied graphic design at college but is essentially a self-taught illustration artist.
She has a particular passion for architecture and beautiful character buildings which she draws in high detail, concentrating on the contrasts of light and shadow to create a realistic finished drawing. Each piece takes many hours to complete. She works in a variety of mediums, including Indian ink pen, pencil, and watercolors on paper.
Demi lives in the countryside in a small village in West Berkshire, UK. She works from her home studio at the end of her garden.
The city of Oxford is nearby, as are the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace which often feature in her work. She gains most of the ideas and inspiration for her work while visiting her favorite places and while traveling.
Demi has been selling her work online and locally in exhibitions for over 17 years. She has work in private collections all over the world.
Demi shares her work on Instagram giving daily updates on the progress of her drawings.
I created this course to teach and help aspiring artists to learn my approach and creative process to architecture illustration.
Drawing such detailed illustrations can seem daunting and difficult, like where do I start? In this class, I have broken my process down into clear and manageable lessons to guide students through the techniques that I use and to make this type of drawing feel less intimidating.
