You may already have the essential tools at hand—just a bit of paper, a few pencils, and an eraser—and we’ll guide you through a series of practical, step-by-step sessions. In this class, you’ll learn to frame your drawing space and visualize your composition before diving in. We’ll explore the importance of line work for conveying emotion and the relationships between various elements, helping you outline your subject with confidence. We’ll simplify complex details into basic geometric shapes, making it easier to capture the essence of your subject. As you sketch, you’ll discover techniques for adding depth through perspective and foreshortening, creating a three-dimensional feel in your work. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and in this class, you’ll learn how to make quick adjustments as your composition evolves. After refining your initial sketch, we’ll focus on adding essential details like folds and shadows to enhance your artwork. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to accentuate contours with softer pencils and clean up your sketches with precision. We’ll finish off with inking techniques to give your drawings a polished, professional touch.
