Welcome to the “Drawing Mastery” Course where you’ll learn the very basics of good drawing and practical techniques that give you guaranteed good results.
My name is Mandar Marathe and I’ll be leading you through this course. My artwork is in collections of individuals and companies in 8 different countries and I have taught more than 8000 students through my studio workshops and online art courses.
I’ve designed this course for anyone wanting to master the drawing skills and by the end of the course, you’ll be able to analyze and draw any subject accurately and confidently.
I’ll be teaching you the ergonomics for confident and smooth pencil marks, basics of linear and aerial perspective, techniques to take measurements, draw proportionately and double-check the drawing for accuracy.
These methods give you predictably good results no matter what subject you are drawing. I’ll not only be teaching you the details of the drawing techniques step by step with demos, but I’ll also give you several exercises to practice the skills you learn.
The ideal student for this course is a person wanting to learn how to draw like a pro and use this skill to advance in their career or pursue a personal artistic goal.
Willingness to learn and to put in the required hard work are the only prerequisites to taking this class.
Feel free to look through the course curriculum and I look forward to seeing you in this class.
Thanks,
Mandar
