overview
This guide package will change the way you draw. I have distilled 10+ years of teaching realistic drawing into this compact mini-course.
You may have heard some of these ideas before, but never explained with such clarity. In short videos and in writing, I'll demonstrate how a skilled artist thinks.
You will learn concepts and techniques you can apply immediately to your own artwork. Let's begin!
What you will learn
1The Accuracy Guide
The Accuracy Guide is designed to help you improve your drawing skills by training your brain to see and capture accurate proportions efficiently.
2The Values Guide
Gain the ability to see a still life or masterpiece and break them down into three values. I walk you through applying values to a portrait.
3The Light Guide
The Light guide has been written with one purpose in mind—to empower you, the reader, by explaining foundational shading principles as simply and potently as possible. This is a distilled version of my full length Shading Course.
Premium Benefits

What others are saying
Marshall Vandruff
Dorian’s skill as an artist stands out as almost super-human, but his skill as a teacher is every bit as sensitive and thoughtful as his art. He devotes himself to making learning easy for his students. If you care about your art, learn from Dorian.
Fernando Suira
In the 5 years I have been studying art I have been to many different classes, some of them good, many of them bad, and if I had to pick the best of them all it would have been my class with Dorian. Feedback, clear and complete lessons and motivation, all in one package.
Joana Ferreira
This course is ideal to understand how light works. Whether you are a beginner or professional, you will come away with a new perspective. I love the way it’s explained and I like the combination of demonstrations, examples, and interactive parts. Dorian uses Photoshop, pencil and charcoal, so this is great for digital artists and traditional artists alike.
