Do you want to improve your drawing but need help staying motivated to practice the basics? We all know how important having strong drawing foundations is. This class teaches fundamental drawing skills using fun and beautiful exercises and my signature mindful approach. This class is for beginner artists and intermediate artists who want to learn the foundational tools to take their drawings to the next level
Our class will cover five key topics using an 80/20 approach:
- Lines & Shapes: How to see like an artist and construct your drawings
- Value & Form: Finally, get a grip on value and learn how to communicate form
- Color & Light: Learn to see, understand, and use color in an intuitive way
- Portraits: A simplified approach to constructing the face and hands
- Depth & Composition: An overview of perspective and how to bring it all together
Our class is also anchored by our Drawing Explorer hero illustration, which combines the skills you will learn in each lesson into a beautiful Class Project.
However, this class is not only about copying what you see or even just drawing realistically, even though you will learn how to do that as a result of completing the class. Rather, the purpose of this class is to understand how the artist’s toolkit works, so you can use it to practice and express your own creative vision.
Materials: This class will work for both digital artists and traditional artists, with drawing demos using Procreate, colored pencils, and acryla gouache. A full list of the materials I use in the class, along with drawing references and my favorite resources for further study, is available here: Class Materials & Resources
