In this class you'll learn to draw an imaginary landscape in pen or pencil with intentional details, a unique landscape and immersive lighting and composition.  Sketching and drawing allows us to explore places and tell visual stories through the lines we put on the page.  But often artists might feel unsure about how to draw fantasy landscapes without copying existing ones.   This class is aimed at building your confidence in world-building, so you can create immersive, compelling and original scenes. These tips can be transferred into any style of art.
