Week 1Lesson 1One Point PerspectiveThis week, we're diving into one-point perspective, a technique that creates the illusion of depth on a flat surface. Imagine standing at the end of a long hallway – the walls seem to shrink in the distance, meeting at a single point on the horizon. That's the magic of one-point perspective! We'll learn how to use vanishing points and horizon lines to create realistic drawings of buildings, roads, or any scene with a strong sense of depth.Week 2Lesson 2Ink Wash and String MethodThis week, we're merging precision and artistry with a fun still-life technique! We'll create stunning ink washes by combining meticulous measuring with string and expressive brushwork.Week 3Lesson 3Drawing FiguresThis week, let's capture the dynamic beauty of the human form with figure drawing! We'll explore how to translate movement and emotion onto the page, focusing on capturing gesture, proportions, and form.Week 4Lesson 4Portrait Drawing Using a GridThis week, get ready for precise portraits with the grid method! We'll overlay a grid on both your reference photo and drawing surface, creating a roadmap for accurate proportions. By focusing on individual squares, you'll meticulously translate facial features and details from photo to paper. It's a fantastic technique for achieving realistic portraits!
