Description
Hi, welcome to the fundamentals of drawing anything, where you’ll learn how to draw anything you want from imagination or from reference. I’m Neil Fontaine, a professional comic artist, and traditional painter but also the easy-going instructor for this course.
I show you all the fundamentals of drawing that will give you the foundation to draw anything. By the end of this course, you will be able to draw in a new way that lets you break down any complex picture into simple forms. More importantly, you will be able to draw from your imagination.
In this course, we will learn light, shadow, shading, form, perspective, shapes, and we will learn how to properly hold our pencil and draw nice lines. Then we will put all this together and sketch a landscape and draw realism.
I also help you along the way by answering your questions and giving feedback on your progress drawings.
This course is for the beginning artist that wish to draw like a pro. Feel free to look through the course. I’ll see you inside.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn to draw well.

I'm a best selling author on Amazon for "How to Draw Awesome Figures."
I studied art at different schools, one of them being a community college in San Jose, Ca. Over the years, subjects in art finally clicked. I teach these subjects in ways that make it easy to grasp. It's hard to brag about myself, but students have written me emails saying how they have learned more from me than they did in art schools, art schools such as Academy of Arts in San Franscico. That blew my mind because it's supposed to be a great school.
I also sell abstract paintings that I painted while meditating. A recent painting sold for $10,963. If enough art students ask, I will make a course on how to abstract paint. You can see my paintings at saatchiArt
I'm also a writer that has sold novels.
