Class Description

Description

This online course provides students with foundational drawing skills through careful study and practical application using photographic reference materials. Students engage in a structured series of guided exercises and hands-on projects designed to strengthen observational abilities and enable them to successfully translate images into accurate drawings. The curriculum covers essential drawing elements, including line, shape, and value, while incorporating proven techniques that build both artistic confidence and technical proficiency on the page. The course emphasizes media such as charcoal and graphite, allowing students to develop fundamental black-and-white drawing skills without color.
