The Drawing Masterclass - Perfect Guide for Very Beginners

Welcome to The Artmother's Drawing Masterclass!

Drawing is a skill anyone can learn! It is the most important building block of all art - illustration, graphic design, fine art and even animation starts with sketches and drawings! If you are the person who always though he can't learn drawing, even if you are already into some medium, like watercolors, you are in the right place!

As a professional art teacher with a Master's Degree in Art Education, in the last 10 years I watched people form all age categories learn drawing. In the last year I was researching the perfect methodology to teach a very beginner art fundamentals and I combined all these experiences and also the feedback from my first drawing course to create a comprehensive Masterclass.

Read some Reviews to see what others think about the course!

"This was a great class! The Artmother really took the time to explain things for a beginner, and gave an inspiring speech at the end of class. She is very thorough, and a great teacher. Enjoyed all her practice sessions and doing the different projects after each lesson. Thank you!"  Joan Canning

"This class is gold! I could actually follow through the process. The teacher is very objective on the instructions and I could (finally!) draw something that I'm proud. I really recommend this to beginners. Thank you for the amazing class!" Jordana Lia

In this course our focus is to explore your inner symbol set, roots of your style, your relationship to drawing and the ways you LOVE to draw, styles that you are most into and try to get the most out of it! We will start with as simple things as drawing lines and build it up to creating shapes and forms.

In this class you will learn:

- to draw lines with different properties, rhythm and weight

- to hold the pencil in a stable and comfortable way

- to create an artwork entirely from lines

- to draw basic geometric shapes in order to build up more complex shapes

- to create forms from shapes (sphere, cone, cube)

- to apply values

- to shade with the "Reverse Shading Method"

- to create the illusion of space in your artworks by applying linear perspective

- to draw the different parts of the face

- to draw basic facial proportions

- to let out your personal symbol set and explore how you like to draw

This Masterclass also includes bonus courses:

1. 10 Projects for Better Observation

2. Creative Shading - Learn Six Shading Techniques for Better Drawing Skills

Is "shading" a word that freaks you out? Are you stuck with it and can't progress in your art? You still don't get how it works? Where to put lines, crossing lines, can you even use your finger to smudge the graphite?

Don't worry!

In this class, you will learn the most well known shading techniques - the Blending (Tonal) Shading, Hatching, Cross-Hatching, Smudging, Stippling and Scribbling!

We are going to go through all of them in a general overview, then also in detail so that you can see these techniques in action! We are going to shade 6 spheres with all these techniques, then at the end, we will choose one and apply it to a subject of your choice!

The class is focused on pencil shading, but we will also discuss shading with ink.

In this class you will learn:

- which pencils are appropriate for which shading

- how to control your pencil - including pressure control, angles, rhythm, making marks

- how to layer graphite

- how to shade with graphite as a medium

- how to shade with lines and marks

- what is value and how to create change in it

- how to do blending (tonal) shading

- how to shade with hatching, cross-hatching, 3 layered and 4 layered hatching, contour hatching and contour cross hatching

- how to work with graphite as a medium in shading with smudging

- to create value change with controlling mark frequency in stippling

- to shade with freedom in scribbling

- to shade with fun:)

So, what are you waiting for? Jump right in to the class!

The masterclass is ideal for very beginners, with zero experience with drawing. If you are the person whose automatic reply to the question "Can you draw xzy?" is an automatic NO (even when playing Activity), YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE:)

Even if you are already painting with different kinds of mediums, like watercolors, acrylics of digital, but you are questioning whether you need to learn drawing in order to do your craft, THIS MIGHT BE THE COURSE FOR YOU!

If you are ready to learn what you always wished for but never had courage or procrastinated over it, this is the time to ENROLL!

See you inside!
