New evening course at Submarine starts soon!
Drawing Forests with Ashley Edge from
4 week course
Thursdays 6.30-8pm (16+ yrs)
Starts Thursday 5th March
In this four day workshop, we’ll be looking at making forests come alive on paper with graphite pencils. Starting by outlining a vision, we’ll progressively get more in depth with our drawings, going from sketch, to exploring light and shadows all the way to playing with texture and detail.
Guided step by step through playful exercises, you’ll build skills while uncovering the principles behind them. With characters, challenges, and a relaxed atmosphere, this journey is designed to awaken your inner artist.
Suitable for ages 16+.
All equipment and materials provided.

Ashley Edge is a Lake District based artist and the author of the self published Draw Like a Boss series of books turning learning to draw into a fun quest. He did a BA in illustration and Animation but it felt somehow incomplete. A fan of video games, Ash started studying academic drawing in his free time and eventually developed his own drawing formula blending the discipline of classic art with the playful spirit of gaming. With Zelda and Monkey Island as inspiration, he created the kind of books he wished he had had when he was learning. Over the course of 10 years Draw Like a Boss has sold over 15,000 books helping people learn to draw.
