Description
Drawing and sketching can seem like magic if you don’t know how to do them. It’s not magic, it’s a skill. that means it can be taught. Just like anything and everything you have learned you had to know the very basics. You can’t do math without knowing how to count and you can’t drive without knowing what the key looks like.
This course is your “key”. All drawing starts with lines, some are straight, some are curved and rough but all are lines. Lines are used to make shapes and shapes become volumes (3d shapes) and everything in the world is made from shapes. I will teach you to use those shapes. I will show you how to make lines shapes and volumes. You will learn to hone your observational skills and draw what you see, and even what is in your head if you study and practice enough.
You need no experience in drawing. Absolutely zero! You just need a pencil and some paper.
If you have always wanted to learn to draw, this is the course for you.

Who this course is for:
● Anyone who wants to learn how to draw using a pencil and paper
● Anyone who wants to learn drawing in a more “traditional” way.
● Anyone wanting to increase their drawing skills
● The absolute beginner with zero ability to draw
● Graphic artists that want to learn to draw.
● The hobbyist who has wanted to learn to draw
● Anyone who wants to make comics or games or express their artistic desires.
● Everyone who has “How to” art books on their shelves but still couldn’t draw
● Everyone who has watched a drawing video but still couldn’t draw.
