I encourage all students to watch the class recording and redraw each of the drawings several times on their own while adding lot’s of bonus extra ideas! This is where the real learning takes place! Taking the fundamentals I teach in class and applying them to their own unique brilliant artwork!

I engage and encourage each student to share their drawings with the other students on camera throughout the lesson. This is such a powerful confidence booster and delightful classroom social moments where students can text supportive comments to others! This is not mandatory, It’s okay if some students choose not to share on camera. 

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

I will be referring to lesson illustrations in my How-To-Draw books “You Can Draw In 30-Days!”, “You Can Draw In 30-Seconds!”, and “Drawing In 3-D!”.

I’ll refer to specific illustrations in these books on camera to help clarify important fundamental drawing concepts.
