Welcome to my Skillshare class on the 3 Foundations of Drawing. This class will help you create a solid foundation for a lifetime of drawing. I teach you exactly what drawing is and how to understand it; plus I explain why people sometimes think they can't draw, and what to do in order to dispel that belief.

This class is built around 10 drawing exercises that are specifically aimed at blasting through the idea that you can't draw. If that sounds interesting to you, check it out ! :)

The exercises are divided into 3 sections.

1. The first section is all about seeing shapes - I will teach you through a set of exercises how to tune into what’s called a drawing mode, and see things in terms of their shape instead of the way you would normally see them.

2. Then the second section is about seeing relationships of size between shapes. You’ll learn about rules of perspective and about how to use the method of sighting in your drawing.

3. Finally, the last section teaches you about form. For me, form means the whole thing, and the exercises in this section are aimed and giving you an understandingof how to bring your drawing from being flat 2 d rendering to a fully finished drawing of substance.

What you will learn in this class:

You will learn how to draw anything from observation, no matter how complex
You'll learn how to draw perspective and angles
You'll learn how to draw a simple object, as well as a complex still life
You'll learn about lighting and shading and how to give your drawing structure through shading

We will work step-by-step together through the 10 exercises so that you have a complete understanding of the process. In each of the exercises, I explain the concept for each one, then I demo a drawing and explain the method and approach; and then it's over to you to have a go at your own drawing for that particular exercise.

By the end of the class, not only will you be able to draw naturally and confidently, but you will have a deep understanding of what exactly drawing is, and what makes a good drawing. And, you will have a method and a process for putting your own creative talent out into the world through your drawings.

And that’ probably the most exciting outcome for this class.

I really hope you join me in this class! I've been so inspired by the work everyone has submitted in all my other Skillshare classes, and have made this one specifically to support and help you in your creative, artistic journey. Drawing is fundamental; and learning the foundations can blow away any doubt you might have about being able to draw beautifully.

See you in the class!
