Learn to Sketch Anything! Drawing Techniques (Self-Paced)

Have you ever wondered how some people can just draw "anything" they want?  It's not because they're born knowing how!  This class covers some of the most helpful techniques that artists use to draw just about anything!  

In this class, we'll use reference photos of animals for most of our practice sketches, but the techniques we'll learn are applicable to just about any subject.  
If you would like to be able to draw realistically, this is a good place to start!

Our lessons introduce:
1. Gesture drawing & simplification
2. Negative space 
3. Shading & texture
4. Linear perspective

Students follow along with me as I sketch, in video demonstrations of each technique.  
Each lesson will introduce a fundamental drawing skill that helps us to draw *anything* from observation.   
I'll also explain how each technique works, so you can apply it later to other subjects!

Lessons run between 60-90 minutes total, broken into several shorter videos (15-25 minutes each).   Students who turn in sketches for each lesson will be provided with a certificate of completion at the end of the course!
