Drawing Foundations – How to Draw for Beginners by Siobhan Twomey

Welcome to this comprehensive drawing course designed to teach you the fundamental skills required to confidently and consistently draw anything. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate artist looking to improve, this course is perfect for you.

Throughout the course, you will learn the 3 most important skills that can be used to draw anything, providing you with a foundation on which to build a lifetime of drawing. You will be guided through a series of 10 drawing exercises, divided into 3 sections.

The first section is focused on seeing shapes. You will learn how to tune into what’s called a drawing mode and see complex objects in terms of their shapes, which will help you break down objects into simpler forms.

The second section is dedicated to seeing the relationships of size between shapes. You’ll learn about rules of perspective and the artist’s method of sighting, which will help you accurately measure and draw objects in space.

The final section teaches you about form, which involves taking your drawing from a flat, two-dimensional rendering to a fully finished drawing of substance. You’ll learn how to create depth, shading, and texture to give your drawings a three-dimensional feel.

This course focuses on teaching you how to observe and see things correctly, as opposed to just showing you how to draw specific objects. By understanding the principles of drawing, including shapes, size relationships, and form, you’ll be able to draw anything with confidence and consistency.

Led by a professional figure drawing instructor with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, this course will provide you with a solid foundation for your drawing skills. You’ll also learn pencil drawing, still life, and figure drawing techniques, as well as other foundational skills.

Whether you’re looking to pursue a career in the arts or simply want to improve your creative skills, this course is an excellent place to start. You’ll learn how to observe the world around you, see things in a new light, and express your unique vision and ideas through your artwork.
