Acrylic Marker Giraffe Drawing – How to draw an animal with Paint Pens

In this class we will be drawing a Giraffe using Uni-Posca Markers on black illustration board. Drawing this giraffe will give you great practice at learning to draw and shade.

We’ll start the class by sketching the giraffe using a white colored pencil. We will use a white pencil because it shows up well on the black illustration board (is you don’t have a black illustration board or paper you may use white paper). After mapping out the main axis of the giraffe’s neck and head we will fill out the rest of it.
