Tell Stories Through Collections of Objects
Kate Bingaman-Burt draws objects that matter—collections that reveal character and narrative. In this 50-minute class, you'll learn her approach: simple line illustration, intentional grouping, and how to turn a collection into a visual story. Lessons cover everything from concept development and gathering source material to digitizing and refining your work. You'll complete a polished collection drawing while discovering that the collections you create can carry meaning larger than the objects themselves. The friendly, practical approach welcomes both experienced illustrators and curious beginners.
About this course

Fun lessons take you inside her favorite collections, iconic simple line style, and approach for grouping objects that tell a larger story.

Throughout the class, Kate illustrates two different collections that are important to her. Everything starts with drawing, then moves into coloring, adding text, and digitizing. Friendly, short lessons dive into the gritty details of simple line illustration while also sharing insights on concept development.
