Description
Welcome to Drawing for Beginners – Part 2: Perspective, shading and rendering
This is a course in two parts and designed to further concepts introduced in Drawing for Beginners – Part I.
The first part of the course is an introduction to learning to draw Perspective. In this course, you will start from an absolute beginner and complete it with the knowledge and confidence to successfully draw in perspective. There is
no “Quick fix” or shortcut to perspective drawing. It requires work. It’s fun work and I’m going to be with you every
step of the way. To take our perspective drawing to the next level, the second part is a light and shadow course, a rendering course, and a texture course all in one. I believe all of those subjects are dependent on one another. We see light and shadow every day. We are
surrounded by textures and surfaces. So there is always an endless supply of references.
