Basic lessons in pencil sketching

Here is an opportunity for all those who want to learn the basics of pencil sketching. Navaneeth Prakash, a software professional and self-taught artist, is all set to organise a workshop in Kochi on May 19.  

In the workshop, participants will be able to learn the basics of pencil sketch drawing that include choosing materials, giving outlines of the subject using grid method, pencil shading and blending techniques. Participants will be provided with an art material set that contains pencils, drawing paper, sharpener, normal and kneaded eraser, cotton and scale. Lunch and beverages, too, will be given.

Navaneeth began his journey as an artist in 2014 quite accidentally. “I began sketching to surprise my close friend on his marriage. I thought of sketching the couple’s image, which came out well,” his bio reads.  

In Kochi, the workshop will take place at French toast, Kacheripady.
