Absolutely! Even if you can “only draw stick-figures” we will have you sketching and shading with confidence in no time! If you’re okay with drawing but want a little extra guidance and theory, this course is for you too. We cover all bases with this in-depth drawing course.
-
Absolutely! You can never stop learning about drawing. Each term we focus on similar principles but with different artwork references. So you’ll never be drawing the same artwork twice. For example, when drawing “texture” we may focus on human hair one term, but fur, bark or glass the next terms. There’s a never-ending supply of things to learn when it comes to drawing!
