I’m opening my archives to show the road from childhood sketches to professional work. It’s a humbling reminder that every artist starts somewhere.

Learn how to create depth and atmosphere by mastering lost edges. I'll demonstrate a painterly approach to drawing a skull with graphite.

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.

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.

I’m flipping through two sketchbooks to show how I balance polished client work with the fun of messy, personal experimentation.

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

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.

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

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

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.

This is our first stop on the path to drawing from imagination.

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.

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

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