More about the course:

The material in this course will apply to both drawing and painting, because to be a good painter you must be good at drawing first! They both go hand in hand, even if you prefer doing your artwork digitally. The skills you will learn here are timeless and will never go out of date, so you can rest assured that you are receiving some crucial information that will boost your art abilities considerably! The most important topics that we will discuss are about the 5 Visual Elements of Art. I will provide long and in-depth descriptions of the 5 Elements: Line/Shape, Form, Texture, Color, and Pattern using printable worksheets that you can follow along with! After this, there are drawing demos where I do simple but impressive drawings start to finish which highlight the 5 Elements. You will learn to draw a 3D house, Egyptian pyramid, wormhole and more!

I'll see you in the course!
