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

When drawing in perspective, I begin by sketching small thumbnails without focusing on accuracy, identifying potential problems along the way. This preliminary work, though unseen, is crucial for getting started. It allows me to establish a solid foundation in perspective before addressing more complex issues. Like any skill, drawing involves various stages of learning—some lessons may be straightforward, while others are challenging, but each is invaluable. Armed with knowledge and practice, solving perspective problems becomes manageable.

hi i am new in the plataform, I´ve been practicing my watercolor technique, and I´d like if someone could give me some feedback about it, every comment it is welcome I want to know your point of view :)

Let's apply what we've learned so far about 2-point perspective to something more organic. In this project we’ll be constructing 3D heads by imagining them as boxes.

Critics plz, what I did right and wrong thank u

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 provide you two photo options over in the downloads tab. Being able to simplify is a very useful skill to be able to communicate clearly in your drawings.

Alright, it’s time to start practicing your cylinders! For this project, we’re going to draw wheels on vehicles from various angles.

In this lesson I demonstrate painting a velvet material.

Hello. Some critiques would be appreciated. Thank you

Alright guys, this is going to be a fun one! In this project, we’ll be constructing animal portraits using basic shapes.

This is my first attempt at charcoal pencil drawing.. Looking for some critique please! Want to start experimenting with graphite and charcoal next, I really like the darks you can get from charcoal, but getting the detail in is harder.. In general, is the darks dark enough here? Are the values right? Please feel free to be critical!

Now that you’ve all had some time to try the first project on your own, you can watch how I do it and figure out what areas you are exceeding and struggling with. Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first project for level 1 students.

Please post your assignments in the assignments tab. Assignments posted in the comments will not be filmed for the video critique. Thanks!

Join me for a LIVE drawing basics demo! I'll be simplifying and stylizing animal portraits with simple shapes.

Ok, before we can start, you'll need to get some tools. I’ll go into much more detail about these in the next few videos, but right now I’m gonna give you a quick shopping list, which you can also find in the lesson notes. All of these are optional except a pencil with an eraser on it, and some paper... You can get whatever looks fun to you, or all of it if you’re feeling spicy!

Here’s another great warm-up exercise for you to practice before your drawing sessions! Drawing circles helps you reinforce those good line quality habits and to gain confidence in being able to draw one of the hardest shapes during a more serious drawing project.

In this lesson I demonstrate painting both a plastic and ceramic material.

As we continue our master studies project, I’ll show you my process for doing a couple master studies from one of my favorite inkers, Roberto De La Torre.

Master Studies are one of the most effective methods for improving your art. Let’s take a look at a drawing from my instructor, Jeff Watts, and see what we can learn.
