I'll show you how to draw tilted forms without skewing them. The secret is keeping the object's Y-axis and carried horizon perfectly perpendicular.

I review your box flap drawings and explain how mastering vanishing traces trains your eye to intuitively capture accurate angles in 3D space.

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

I'll review your mannequins to help you fix common issues with body connections. A solid structural foundation makes drawing drapery much easier.

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.

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.

Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first assignment for level 1 students.

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.

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

I'll demonstrate how to draw spiral folds on twisting areas of the body like the forearms. We will use S-curves to capture the fabric's rotation.

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.

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

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

I'll show you how to draw half lock folds by finding where the body pinches and connecting the fabric to the underlying forms.

Before we start, let's go over tools. I've included an extensive materials shopping list of paper, pencils, markers, erasers, and sharpeners.

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

In this new project, you'll practice to improve your line quality by doing master studies!

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

Let's simplify drapery by drawing pipe and diaper folds. I will show you how to use tension points to shape realistic fabric over the human figure.
