Summary:

This month, we'll be learning how to animate a range of motions for any character or object. Pick a subject and draw it over and over every week, and you'll get better at understanding how to translate 3d movement into 2d art!

We'll be working on a different set of animations each week, so you can join in at any time. This week's theme is: movement!

Take a look at our handy-dandy reference folder for a sneak peek of what you’ll be learning -> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b

### 💬 A Little About Me

Hi friends! I’m Lucy, an artist based in Montreal 🎨
I love sketching in cafés, markets, and cozy corners of the city — and I’d love to meet others who feel the same.
These sessions are casual and community-focused:
Bring your own art materials, and if we’re in a café or restaurant, please support the venue with a small purchase ☕💛
📸 I sometimes take photos or short clips during events.
If you’d rather not be in them — no worries, just let me know!
Let’s create, connect, and explore Montreal’s inspiring spots together. 💛
