ONLINE Beginner Drawing & Illustration for Adults

For Adult Students 18 yrs +

This is a very useful course for anyone in the visual arts, fashion or design or for any student interested in honing their drawing skills. Drawing is an invaluable skill, perhaps the most important of all the visual arts. In this course learn proportion, composition, shading, the relationships of objects, how color & light affects focus, edges, cool applications, special tips & effects! We will work on drawing inanimate objects/ still life as it allows you to move through the different stages of the process and grow confidence. Through preliminary exercises develop an eye for line, form & tone in still-life arrangements using a combination of pencil, charcoal or inks. Practical exercises on how to draw using the right side of the brain, how to draw curves, use contour technique & straight line approximation technique, the essentials of drawing ellipses, drawing a cylinder, hemispheres & how to employ horizontal lines & vanishing points, & how to use cross contours to give your drawings a sense of volume and accuracy- these classic exercises help you learn how to see shape and form. In the last few weeks of the course, we will put together all the techniques to create more ambitious accurate finished drawings.
