Whether you draw for relaxation or are a professional artist or designer, being able to draw confidently can really transform your art, and how you feel about it.

Developing confidence in your line drawing is a skill which can be learned in the same way as any other drawing skill. My name is Mel Rye and I have taught drawing to beginners and more advanced students for over 15 years, and in this class, I’m going to walk you through a series of fun and simple drawing exercises ive tried and tested to help you develop greater confidence in your line drawing.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Together, we will:

examine what confidence in line drawing is and how to cultivate it
explore the best materials to use, and subject matter to draw, to encourage confident drawing
develop a toolkit of exercises you can return to again and again to keep that line drawing confidence going in your future projects.

These will include:
- Blind Drawing
- Non Dominant Hand
- Hand, Body, Paper and Pen Positioning
- Playing with Scale
- Speed Drawing

In this class, we will not cover technical drawing skills like proportion, perspective or shading - what we will encourage is your way of drawing which is fun, expressive and uniquely yours. These exercises can also help you to identify drawing methods you may fall in love with which can also help you on the road to developing your own unique drawing style.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

You don’t need any special materials to take the class - whatever you have at home will work really well - Just a pen and a few sheets of paper will be just fine!

Whether you’re a complete beginner looking for a fun class to get you started, or a seasoned artist who loves to explore different drawing methods, this class has something for you.

I’m so excited to see you develop some fun and confident line drawings - Let’s draw!
