Description

I have been a professional artist for a number of years, and in that time I have learnt that some simplistic techniques are beneficial to your drawing and painting, in order that you may be more successful in the creation of your art.

The purpose of this course is to show you how basic drawing skills can be used to create your own art. The course will look at how to hold a pencil correctly, what pencils to use, how to draw and loosen up, how to create shade.

I will show you how to draw basic shapes to break down more complex subjects (still life depictions). We will look at how to draw in perspective too.

The course will include drawing the shape of the human head.I will cover the figure and how it can be simplified, from rectangular shapes.We will explore how to place the figure in the landscape using perspective. I will also show you how I draw buildings in the landscape.

I will provide downloads of all drawings, methods and materials shown in the course, along with a simple method of copying drawings to get you started on your way.

This course is for anyone from a complete beginner to someone wanting to improve their skills.
