Description

Welcome to the ultimate drawing course! In this course you will learn all the fundamentals about drawing; how to observe the subject, how to transfer it onto your piece of paper and how to draw realistically, using various techniques such as pencil measurement, hatching and shading!


You don't need prior knowledge or experience in drawing, also there is no need for many materials; just a pencil and a piece of paper would be all you need to start this course; what matters the most is your enthusiasm and willingness to learn and earnest participation in the assignments!


This course has been designed step by step and teaches all the fundamentals you need to become better in drawing. Methods and techniques given in this course are very simple and easy to follow for everyone. This course step-by-step guidance enables you to learn at your own pace and our on-point assignments help you master each technique that is taught.


First, we begin by going through all about the tools and materials and how to use them correctly to achieve the results you want. As pencil is the most important tool used in this course, we will introduce different types of pencils and all the methods and techniques associated with them; such as pencil pressure, hand pressure and the capabilities of different pencils.


You will learn all the necessary skills and techniques in drawing such as composition, hatching, shading, and how to draw in different ways. We will teach you the fundamentals of hatching and shading, and the right places to use them. In this course, we will work on different samples such as shapes and forms, still life, portrait drawings, fundamentals of head anatomy, fruits and pastries, and how to draw realistically using your pencil!


Make sure you engage in the course and its assignments chronologically to ensure achieving the best results. The assignments are designed in a way to ensure maximum practice, they are given at each step and each assignment focuses on the techniques, methods and the information that had been worked on during the lesson.


In this course, we will teach you how to draw and learn from observation and draw almost anything that you see around yourself, such as fruits, or even a water jug. Going through different samples, we will teach you different methods used for drawing, such as pencil measurements, in which you will learn how to measure your subject of drawing using only your pencil and transfer it accordingly to your piece of paper.


The next step is portrait drawing, you will learn how to draw a human portrait, using only your pencil and a piece of paper; yet again using the technique which is called pencil measurement/sighting.


Going through all the human features step by step, you will learn how to observe the subject, measure it and use simple techniques to draw it on your piece of paper. Eyes, nose, lips and ears are all taught separately and then you will learn how to measure and place them on your paper and draw them together.


This course is designed to help anyone with a desire to draw, to learn in an easy way so they could be confident in pencil drawing.


The 19 chapters provided in this course will take you step by step through all the techniques and methods needed to draw, in14 hours HD video tutorials. As a bonus, this course is accompanied by HD scans of the samples, outlines and extra PDFs that will increase your knowledge about drawing and enable you to practice even more.

This is my first art course ever. The way Ava explains and repeats the important points makes things easier as you progress through the lessons. My family and friends are amazed at the progress I made with this course. I am a doctor by profession and was always intrested in anatomy illustrations and wanted to take it up as a hobby. I have already purchased Ava's Figure drawing and Anatomy course and is looking forward to starting it soon. Abid

Toujours très intéressant puisque la professeure enseigne chaque notion de façon détaillée et ne passe à l'étape suivante que lorsque les notions acquises. Très stimulant! Bravo! Cours à suivre.
