Want to learn how to draw? Not sure where to start? This Drawing Course is a great way to begin. By the end of the twelve weeks, you'll be able to draw anything you want. You will learn the most important aspects of drawing from the very beginning. You will build the foundation by rendering basic objects and environments, and become prepared to apply these techniques to more complex subjects. All the techniques of the Essential Drawing Course are done in monochrome (black and white) so there is no distraction from the basics such as light and shadow, line, form, tone, and texture.

While developing the technical skills, we will observe how by means of drapery we can express action, movement, and emotions. Suitable for all levels.
