Essential Drawing Skills
Short Course
In these 4 weekly short courses, we'll cover the essential techniques and concepts needed to start your journey with drawing.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, this short course will provide you with a solid foundation to build upon.
In the first half of each class, we'll focus on foundational exercises and techniques, while the second half will be dedicated to applying these skills in projects.
Class #1 covers 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspectives along with an introduction to shadows, followed by drawing a cityscape.
Class #2 focuses on drawing basic geometric shapes such as cubes, tubes, cones, and ball x-ray techniques, and delves deeper into shadows, culminating in drawing a simple still life featuring pottery and boxes.
Class #3 combines previously learned techniques, emphasizing relative size and position, and involves drawing a simple still life of fruit in a bowl and candies in a square bowl.
Class #4 integrates all previous concepts, including the study of proportions, with subjects ranging from simple animals like dogs and cats to human figures such as heads, busts, or torsos.
