Drawing is not a talent. It’s a skill anyone can learn. Designed for aspiring painters, graphic designers, illustrators and artists of all types, The Art & Science of Drawing series will teach you the foundation of art and design of all kinds: drawing.

BASIC SKILLS is the first course in the series and will teach you the basics of drawing one day at a time.

Here’s how it works:

Each day you’ll watch one video lesson that will teach you an essential drawing skill. At the end of each lesson you’ll be given a project designed to build your drawing skills quickly and efficiently. After doing the project, you’re ready for the next day’s lesson and project!

In this beginning drawing course you’ll learn:

How to use the pencil like an artist
How to draw any shape
How to analyze and draw any subject by simplifying it into basic shapes

BASIC SKILLS is overflowing with powerful insights into the drawing process and offers some of the clearest, most accessible drawing instruction available. Many of the tools and techniques you'll learn here are rarely taught outside of private art academies.

BASIC SKILLS is the first course in The Art & Science of Drawing series designed to take students from the absolute basics to advanced drawing techniques like perspective drawing and shading. If you're a beginner, we recommend going through the entire series in the following order:
