Drawing Fundamentals - Observation and Shading
Over a 3-hour workshop, you'll develop fundamental skills that transform how you see and represent the world around you.
In this course, you'll learn to:
- Observe objects accurately and translate what you see to paper
- Understand proportion, scale, and spatial relationships
- Create form and dimension through value and shading
- Apply various techniques to create realistic drawings
Who is this course for?
No prior experience is needed!
The course is suitable for anyone over 14 years-old, even if they don’t have previous experience. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to practice. Remember, drawing is a skill anyone can learn with the right guidance and consistent effort.
Materials:
These are the materials you'll need, but don't stress about the right brands or types. I'll supply materials you can test if you're new to drawing!
- Drawing paper (preferably above 80 lbs or 130 gsm, but even printer paper works.)
- HB and 6B pencils (I love Derwent pencils, but any brand works.)
- Eraser
About the instructor:
