Course Content

Section 1) – An introduction to drawing

  • drawing tools, you need
  • optional tools for the future
  • how to hold the pencil to get a better drawing experience
  • how to see the world with the eyes of the artist

Section 2) – Get to know the basic building blocks of drawing. We will develop your drawing skills making a lot of fundamental drawing exercises.

You will learn how to draw:

  • straight lines
  • parallel lines
  • simple 2D shapes like triangles, rectangles, and squares
  • curves
  • circles, ovoid shapes, and ellipses
  • simple 3D objects like cubes and cylinders
  • develop hand coordination by connecting dots with straight and curved lines

The goal of these lessons is to gain confidence in drawing these simple elements that we will use to build up more complex objects.

Furthermore:

  • introduction to perspective drawing understanding the most frequently used 2-point and 3-point perspective
  • explaining an important drawing principle called foreshortening

With this knowledge you’ll be able to draw subjects convincingly in the 3D space.

Section 3) – We’ll put the drawing skills you’ve learned into practice. We will make all sorts of sketches on real life subjects using reference photos.

We will draw:

  • a chess pawn built from simple 2D shapes
  • a chair by drawing straight lines using the rules of perspective
  • a fish using a bunch of S-curves
  • a profile portrait to practice proportions
  • a chess pawn using simple shading
  • a pair of glasses to practice complex curves
  • a dancing human figure for an introduction to gesture drawing
  • and an astronaut just for fun
