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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Learn how to make shapes interesting and dynamic using concepts like gesture, variety, contrast, complexity, symmetry, tension, and balance.

In this lesson, I'll give you a roadmap of what we'll be learning about perspective in this course and introduce a few key concepts.

Let's learn how one-point perspective works and draw some boxes.
