Course Description

Dive into the world of drawing with the highly acclaimed Beginners Drawing Course, encompassing a comprehensive 72 hours and 50 minutes of expert instruction. With an exceptional rating of 5.0 stars, this course has become a favorite among aspiring artists looking to master the fundamentals of drawing. The course falls under the Design and Art category with a specific emphasis on Drawing and Painting.

The course kicks off with an introductory lesson that covers the basics, empowering you to start creating simple drawings with confidence. It also includes a useful Art Supply buying guide to help you choose the best materials for your artistic journey. As you progress, the course delves into drawing basic shapes such as cubes and cylinders, forming a strong foundation for more complex creations.

One of the crucial skills you'll master is creating a value scale using hatching and blending techniques. The live stream sessions are interactive, offering real-time Q&A to address any questions you may have. Through shading techniques, you'll learn how to add volume and dimension to your drawings, bringing your art to life.

Perspective is an essential aspect of drawing, and the course provides a thorough understanding of one-point perspective, making it easy to draw interiors like your own bedroom. You'll discover the secret of how to draw anything using simple shapes, unlocking endless creative possibilities. Additionally, you'll explore how to find and embrace your unique drawing style.

The course also includes practical guides on drawing from photographs using a grid system and employing a viewfinder for accurate proportions. A variety of human figure drawing sessions cover everything from basic proportions of men, women, children, and elderly people to detailed studies of facial features like eyes, noses, lips, ears, and hair.

Special techniques like the block-in method for body structure, line of action for dynamic poses, and creating caricatures to transform faces will enhance your abilities. Furthermore, you'll gain expertise in designing and turning characters, and master the intricate details of drawing hands and feet from various angles.

As the course progresses, you'll venture into portraiture, capturing likenesses of babies, children, and seniors. Learn to deftly draw folds in fabric and manage contrasting textures like glass, plastic, and wood. The clothing segment will guide you through rendering clothes on figures with convincing folds and twists.

Adding the perfect finishing touch to your skills, the course includes lessons on gesture drawing for efficient sketching, and introductory landscape drawing focusing on leaves, trees, and other elements of nature. By the end of the Beginners Drawing Course, you will have cultivated a versatile set of drawing skills, empowering you to express your creativity with confidence and precision.
