I'll show you how to use diagonal lines to repeat equal divisions deep into space. This technique makes drawing patterns in perspective much easier.

Study how costume shapes character by drawing figures from film, focusing on design over technical fold construction.

The first project of the Drawing Basics course is to challenge yourself to simplify the shapes, edges, and values of a pear or portrait from observation.

I break down the costumes in The 5th Element to show how fashion shapes character roles and builds a unique sci-fi world.

Drawing is a visual language that can be learned just like any other language, and anyone can pick it up with the right guidance and practice.

Discover a creative approach to 5-point perspective by manipulating grid lines. You can warp space and break traditional rules with consistent distortion.

Here’s a project to help you avoid chicken scratch. We’re going to simplify our drawings to C curves, S curves, and straight lines.

In this video, I’ll give you an in depth look at what you’ll learn in my Drawing Basics course.

There is an endless number of ways to use lines as an artist, so let's jump in and take a look at the basics.

Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first assignment for level 1 students.

A beginner's guide to sketchbooks and paper! Learn about paper types, texture, weight, archivability, and common pitfalls.

In our very first critique of the course, I take a look through your simplified pear submissions and give feedback on some of the most common mistakes.

Master the Tapered Stroke for confident line quality in your sketches! Learn how to construct complex shapes & add energy to your loose sketches.

This warmup is a fun way to help you practice drawing ellipses.

Before we start, let's go over tools. I've included an extensive materials shopping list of paper, pencils, markers, erasers, and sharpeners.

In this project, we'll start learning how to sketch using simple loose lines.

All the ways I sharpen pencils. Wooded and woodless graphite pencils, 2.0 and 5.6mm mechanical pencils, charcoal pencils, and eraser pencils!

A beginner's guide to pencils and erasers! A breakdown of the many different pencil and eraser options out there.

Master line quality with 6 key habits: avoid common mistakes, find a comfortable speed, follow-through, ghosting, rotate the paper, and use simple strokes.
