Blobs build intuition, grids train proportion—this video shows how both sharpen your drawing skills.

Let's go over common shading mistakes - wrong terminator and cast shadow shapes, spotty or linear halftone transitions, and shadows that are too light.

A step-by-step look at foreshortening arrows using boxes, vectors, and scaffolding to understand 3D space and draw with more confidence.

Michael demonstrates a slower, shape-based approach to figure drawing that emphasizes form, overlap, and rhythm through part-to-part construction.

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

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.

Marshall explores the Ortho to Invented Form project submissions, guiding you on how to transform 2D orthographic projections into inventive 3D forms.

Let's explore the nine basic positions from which objects can be viewed, including ortho view and angles to the left, right, above, and below.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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, you’ll continue to practice The Shape Method.

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