Let's review your final cube drawings and fix common perspective mistakes. Getting these proportions right prepares you to tackle complex round forms.

Discover how to accurately measure and divide foreshortened planes in perspective. These diagonal tricks will help you calculate exact proportions.

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.

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.

In this video, I’ll give you an in depth look at what you’ll learn in my Drawing Basics course.

A beginner's guide to sketchbooks and paper! Learn about paper types, texture, weight, archivability, and common pitfalls.

I'll show you how to use costume design and shape language to build strong character archetypes and drive your visual storytelling.

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

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

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

This warmup is a fun way to help you practice drawing ellipses.

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

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

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.
