A masterclass with Shoo Rayner

Fancy a masterclass in illustration? Then all you have to do is go to Shoo Rayner’s new online Drawing School where you can watch a number of videos designed to help children and adults to improve their drawing skills.

Shoo is a frequent contributor to Literacy Time PLUS – subscribers may remember his wonderful fantasy story The Snoo which appeared in Literacy Time Years 1 and 2 last year (Issue 29) and his powerful opinion piece Trust the power of the story.

But Shoo has also written and illustrated countless children’s books, including the popular series called Dark Claw and The Rex Files. Fans of his Ginger Ninja books will be delighted to see that two of the lessons in the Drawing School focus on the character of the Ginger Ninja himself and show you how to draw Tiddles, the nasty school bully from the same series.
