Hi, I'm Eli (they/them) and I'm an illustrator.

You can see my work on Instagram @eli_illustrates.

I've joined with Sappho Events to teach an introduction to drawing masterclass online across the UK.

We will go through techniques, mini projects, and methods to make you feel confident and ready to emerge as an artist. You are all artists if you create art, regardless of what you do and how often you do it. This is about laying some ground work for begginers (or a refresher for more advanced illustrators) as I know there is nothing more daunting than a blank sheet of paper.

Anyone of any skill level is welcome! The class will be taught over Zoom.

Essential is something to draw with and something to draw on. And preferable colours as well. Use whatever materials you like!

You do not have to share your work, but you can if you want and ask for advice or tips.

It will also be a creative space to socialise and chat to like minded queer people and just draw.

At Sappho Events, we welcome LGBTQIA+ women, trans and non-binary people from the UK.
