 Course Description This course is designed for beginner artists who have an interest in learning how to draw or sketch -- or simply want to improve their skills. It covers the tools you'll need to draw and also provide plenty of exercises to practice drawing using different techniques and styles. It will cover drawing people, places, things, and even abstract concepts. For best results, we highly recommended that you take your time going through this course. It's easy to get excited and flip through the pages, just to see what we'll teach you to draw next. However, you'll miss out on the overall purpose of this course if you do. Learning to draw is a process, even if it is a fun one. In this course, you're going to learn the processes and techniques that gave rise to some of the most talented artists in the world. What you're going to learn over the fifteen lessons will be in-depth, professional information. It can be comparable to signing up for an art class at a large university. You're going to learn about: · The tools artists use to draw · Values · Shading · Textures and how to create them · Drawing flowers and trees · Drawing a still life · Drawing animals · Drawing people · And much, much more!
That said, don't expect to be a master artist after you finish this course. Instead, expect to have the knowledge and training you need to continue to draw and learn to bring the scenes you see in your daily life to paper. You'll be able to draw whatever you see, and you'll have the knowledge to perfect the image. So, sit back and relax. You're not going to be judged or graded on your skill. The only grade you'll receive will be based upon your comprehension of the techniques and information we present. Your skill is something that will improve over time, and you'll be able to refer to this course whenever you want in the future.
Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: Introduction to DrawingThis course was designed for beginner artists who have an interest in learning how to draw or sketch -- or simply want to improve their skills. | Lesson 2: The Tools You'll Need -- and How to Use ThemWith any task you undertake in life, you need certain supplies to get it done properly. | Lesson 3: Looking at Things You Can DrawThe easiest way to begin drawing is to begin with simple lines. Most likely, you drew simple lines as a child to make shapes and pictures. | Lesson 4: Seeing the World as an ArtistYou may find this hard to believe, but drawing requires lots of brain power! | Lesson 5: Drawing LinesMost drawings that you look at are composed of lines. There are straight lines, curved lines, angular lines. Some are thin, some are thick. Some are bold, but some are subtle. | Lesson 6: Lights and ShadowsYou can draw something simple like the box below and then learn to draw things like the duck in a previous lesson, too. Yes, you can learn to draw these simple things, and you can also learn to be fairly good at drawing them. | Lesson 7: ShadingThe whole purpose of shading is to make your drawings more realistic and three dimensional. You can draw without learning to shade a thing, but your drawings won't be life-like. Instead, they'll be flat. | Lesson 8: TextureThe texture of your drawing is what will reveal shine, fur, fabric, and whether the object is smooth, rough, or jagged. Just like shading, it makes your drawing more realistic. | Lesson 9: PerspectivesAs we learned in a previous lesson, perspective is used in drawings to help give them a three-dimensional look. | Lesson 10: Composition and Planning DrawingsA composition is defined as the way the objects and subjects that you're going to draw are arranged, organized, and combined. Later in this course, we'll learn to draw a still life. | Lesson 11: Drawing MemoriesYour memories are a beautiful thing. They are stored in your mind like a treasure, and you can revisit them whenever you want. | Lesson 12: Drawing a Still LifeIt's a safe bet to say that when you think of still art, you probably think of a bowl filled with fruit. But the truth is that you can draw any symmetrical or non symmetrical object for a still art drawing. | Lesson 13: Trees and FlowersIn this lesson, we're going to learn how to draw flowers and trees. When drawing flowers and even other objects, it's important to remember to see the basic shapes in the objects. | Lesson 14: Drawing AnimalsThe cave men started it. They drew animals on the walls of their caves. Of course, they did this to tell of their hunting, but the fact remains. | Lesson 15: Drawing PeoplePeople are all different, and each person you draw will be different than the one before. It makes drawing a challenge, but it also makes it interesting. Think of how boring this world would be if we all looked alike! |
