Renowned artist and sculptor Arzan Khambatta, who is also known for his brilliant Pen & Inkdoodle artwork is going to give classes on the art of doodling with Pen & Ink. There will be four types of curriculums across a week that will cater to all types of learners, from the beginners to the pro. 

Each hour-long session will begin with a warm-up and then after getting a hang of the absolute basic technique, it will proceed to create an artwork using the technique taught that day. 

"Some times we shall be linking the techniques taught in the previous sessions, to understand how amalgamating brings about complex designs. We shall also look at some complete works done by me in the past using the techniques mentioned, just to get an idea of what is possible, and to inspire you further," tells Khambatta.

The fulfilled sessions will last an hour each and begin for August.

The curriculums are as follows:
