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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 lesson, we’ll learn about the importance of line weight when creating engaging and interesting art.

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

Searching Lines, 3 levels of looseness, and their practical applications.

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.

Learn about shape language, using simple shapes to design and construct, and adding complexity to your simple shapes.

Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first assignment for level 2 students.

For this project, we're going to design our line quality to be more interesting by practicing organizing the line weight.

In this demo, I'll show you how I would approach the level 1 CSl drawings.

Learn how to practice to draw with accurate proportions by eyeballing, using various measuring methods, and self-critiquing for a fast feedback loop.

In this course, you'll learn how to transform a flat surface into a deep, realistic world using perspective.

In this project we’ll be constructing 3D heads by imagining them as boxes.
