What You’ll Learn
🟢 Week 1 – Shape & Form
Discover how every drawing starts with simple shapes! You’ll learn how to break down any object and bring them to life using light and shadow with the magic of shading.
🔍 Week 2 – Texture & Detail
This week, we’ll explore techniques to render flowing hair, fluffy clouds, shiny metal, and more—plus some sneaky tricks to suggest detail without getting lost in it!
📏 Week 3 – Proportion & Accuracy
Ever drawn a person and felt like something was just off? This week, we’ll dive into the rules of proportion, learning how to measure and compare shapes to keep figures, faces, and objects looking balanced and realistic. You’ll practice techniques to train your eye and refine your drawings with greater accuracy!
🏙️ Week 4 – Perspective & Viewpoints
Finally, learn how to draw keeping perspective in mind. This session will demystify vanishing points, foreshortening, and interesting viewpoints, helping you create depth and dynamic compositions with confidence.
