Use a pencil, a cutter, and a rubber to practice drawing horizontal lines and build hand control through daily warm-ups and repeated exercises.
Learn basic perspective by drawing a parallel rectangular cube seen from front, left, and upper viewpoints, and understand how front, upper, and side faces change with viewing level.
Learn to build perspective drawings from basic cube forms, then turn a chair from multiple angles by applying parallel rectangles and cube techniques.
Explore shape basics within a comprehensive drawing course, guiding beginners to advanced students through guided repetition to build drawing confidence.
Explore texture basics by using tiny lines and multiple strokes to convey touch on wood, walls, and fabrics. Use HB, 4B, and 6B pencils to create soft and hard textures.
Explore the basics of shadow and lighting with a ball lit by a point light, defining shadow and light areas and the surrounding background.
Learn to render a ball with realistic values and contrast by drawing the circle, shaping the ball, and defining the shadow on the floor from a right-to-left light source.
Learn to render values and contrast by shading cube, ball, and cylinder under a rightward light, with shadows on floor, reflected shadows on cube, and dark background to define depth.
Learn the basics of drawing the human body by building a figure from geometric shapes, starting with a square head and rectangular torso, adding repetition and shadows to define form.

Build the human body drawing from simple geometric forms, like cubes and rectangular parallel biped, with step-by-step practice, patience, soft lines, and shaping masses into a 3D figure.
Learn to draw human body by building a structure from head to rib cage and basin, using circles for joints and arms and legs to reflect head height times eight.
Learn to construct the human figure from head to feet using cubes and rectangles, detailing joints, neck, shoulders, arms, and feet for a structured drawing.
Learn to draw a mouth from front and side angles, build the lip structure, and add shading with light lines and 3D references.
Learn to draw an eye using simple lines and circles, study front and side angles, define eyelids and eyelashes, and master the basic proportions for beginner-friendly accuracy.
Learn to draw the ear by starting with light lines to shape the outer cover and interior parts, then shade, smudge, and erase extraneous lines for a clean result.
Master nose drawing from front and angles by building with simple shapes—two parallel lines, a circle, a big ball, and two side circles—to reveal bone and cartilage structure.
Learn to draw a real eye step by step, starting with circles to define the inner and outer eye using a pencil and eraser.
Explore portrait drawing by studying the skull from front, side, and back, building the head with rectangles and circles, and placing eyes, eye lid, nose, and cheeks for accurate proportions.
Learn to draw a skull from a 3d model, photo, or app by matching dimensions and starting with the eyelid and nose, memorizing the basic structure for portraits.
This lesson guides you through drawing a basic skull and turning it into a realistic portrait using light and shadow, smudging, and precise erasing.
Draw portraits as masses, not spaces, using a central axis on a ball to guide direction and gaze, and practice from multiple angles to build familiarity with the mass.
