Essential Exercises for Beginner and Intermediate Artists by Steven Zapata

3.5+ Hours of guidance on drawing exercises that train essential skills for designers and artists. Demonstrations are 4k (streamable in 1080p HD, download files for 4k), and most are done in real time with live commentary as I draw. These are exercises that have stood out to me from the hundreds I’ve tried over the years, and I have filled many sketchbook pages with these.
