Figure Drawing

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in a creative and unique way with our Manga Drawing Workshop, where we will learn how to illustrate romantic kissing scenes step by step. This 1.5-hour evening session is designed for everyone — whether you are picking up a pencil for the very first time or already have drawing experience. All skill levels are warmly welcome. We begin with the fundamentals of manga drawing to build a strong foundation. You will learn how to construct faces, understand proportions, and create expressive eyes and gentle facial features. When it comes to romantic moments, subtle details make all the difference. With easy-to-follow techniques, you will discover how to capture tenderness, anticipation, and connection without feeling overwhelmed. After the introduction, we will move on to the main focus of the workshop: drawing a manga kiss. Guided step by step, you will learn how to position two characters harmoniously, use perspective effectively, and add flowing hair to create a believable and dynamic scene. Along the way, you will receive practical tips that can be applied to many future drawings. This workshop emphasizes a relaxed, supportive, and inspiring atmosphere. There is no pressure to be perfect — the goal is to enjoy the creative process, try something new, and leave feeling proud of what you created. You are encouraged to work at your own pace, and individual guidance will be provided whenever you need it. All materials are included, so you can simply arrive, settle in, and start drawing. At the end of the evening, you will take your finished artwork home — perhaps as a meaningful keepsake or even as a heartfelt Valentine’s gift for someone special. This experience is perfect for couples, friends, creative souls, or anyone looking to treat themselves to an artistic night out. Spend your evening surrounded by creativity, meet like-minded people, and immerse yourself in the romantic world of manga. Whether your style turns out playful, sweet, or classically romantic, you will leave with a one-of-a-kind illustration that reflects your personal touch. Join us for a cozy Valentine’s afternoon and discover how beautiful it can be to express emotions through art.

**Sketchbook Cover Workshop - Design Your Own Unique Sketchbook** Need a new and unique sketchbook? Why not **design it yourself**? The **Sketchbook Cover Workshop in Zurich** gives you the opportunity to create a personalized, manga-inspired sketchbook cover. In a relaxed and supportive environment, you will learn step by step how to **design, draw, and color your own cover**. This workshop is perfect for beginners and creative minds who want to try drawing while exploring new techniques. We start with **15 minutes of sketching fundamentals**, a warm-up to help you loosen your hand, build simple shapes, and sketch quickly and confidently. These basics are ideal for beginners to gain confidence and feel comfortable approaching a blank page. Next, we spend **15 minutes drawing a manga head**. You’ll learn the standard structure of a manga face, including the correct placement of eyes, nose, mouth, and hairstyle. I’ll show you how manga proportions work and provide tips for creating expressive faces. Personalized guidance is provided throughout. The main part of the workshop is **60 minutes designing and drawing your sketchbook cover**. Here you develop your own creative cover. We’ll discuss layout, composition, and how your illustration can stand out on your sketchbook. Whether your style is playful, minimal, or detailed, you decide how your cover looks. The goal is to create a **unique artwork** that inspires your future sketches. Finally, we spend **30 minutes coloring your cover with Ohuhu Markers**. You’ll learn how to blend colors, create simple shading, and make your illustration pop. Ohuhu Markers are ideal for manga art, giving smooth, vibrant, and bold results. Experimentation is encouraged – perfection is not necessary. **Who is it for?** The workshop is suitable for **teenagers, adults, and hobby artists**. No prior experience is needed. You’ll leave with a **finished A4 sketchbook cover (50 pages)**, new drawing skills, and fresh motivation to continue your creative journey.

Each circle includes: **Nourishing gentle Yoga** **​** Gentle and transformative yoga practices to liberate the flow of energy and connect back to our source of vitality, blood wisdom and intuition. **Yoga Nidra** **​** Yoga Nidra is the antidote to the stress of life in today’s world. It is a zero effort practice of surrendering to all that is. Generally practiced lying down, yoga nidra brings you to a state of deep relaxation, allowing body and mind to restore.

It can also improve sleep, release tension and reverse symptoms of trauma and exhaustion. **​** **Sound Healing** **​** Sound healing is a gentle and powerful way to reach places in the body that are otherwise impossible to get to. Tibetan singing bowls bring immediate relaxation to body and mind, helping to disengage from thoughts and come into the present moment. Sound healing can help release tension and reduce the hold of stress, pain, fatigue, fear and other difficult emotions. Singing bowl vibrations help to bring us to an optimal state for self- healing.

Es ist erstaunlich, wie viele kleine und liebevolle Details sich dort verbergen – Dinge, die uns im Alltag oft entgehen. \-\-\- English \-\-\- For this mindful photography event, we will meet at Zwingliplatz by the big tree.

In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
