A course by Jenny Rae
Jenny Rae is a self-taught artist from the UK who specializes in animal drawings and illustrations. Her grandfathers who were both artists themselves encouraged her to draw from a young age and, inspired by family visits to Bristol Zoo as a child, animals quickly became her favorite subjects. She went on to do a work experience placement at the same zoo where she spent time honing her drawing skills before going on to study animal behavior at Aberystwyth University. Jenny used illustration as a form of therapy throughout her studies before turning her passion into a career.
Today she illustrates everything from pet portraits to tattoo designs for her clients as well as sharing her work with her five-figure following on Instagram.
