Draw Dogs With or Without Reference

This is a structural approach to drawing generally, while drawing dogs in particular. Once learned and mastered, you will be able to draw dogs doing anything, from any viewpoint, whether or not you have visual reference of the angle you need.

This course is for students who are already comfortable drawing, and also serious about upping their drawing skills to a more professional level.

This course is not limited to drawing dogs. You can apply the structural approach to drawing anything at all. Dogs are, however, the example subject in this course.

If you are not yet comfortable drawing forms such as boxes in perspective and in relationship to each other, I would recommend spending some time getting comfortable with that.

Before you tackle complex subjects it would be advisable to have a good comfort level with the basics of form and some understanding of perspective.

If you look at the lesson titles you'll see that there's a lot covered here besides just learning to draw a basic dog from different angles. The importance of making mistakes first, and recognizing and avoiding them in future cannot be over-emphasized. It's the absolute essential key to progress.

The approach to drawing covered in this course is not something you'll absorb by watching it through a couple of times. You'll need to take it slowly, and allow the principles to soak in through understanding, and through repeated and thoughtful practice.

It becomes a way of thinking about the world around you.
