With clear cut instructions, this figure drawing course will teach you how to draw beautiful characters one video at a time.

Created with beginner artists in mind.

About Me 

Hi, I'm Patricia Caldeira! An artist and art teacher that has taught over 14.000 students throughout the years.

I've also worked for Clip Studio Paint (Celsys), Musicians, Youtubers and more for over 10 years.

This is the figure drawing course I wish I had when starting out. 

It took me many years to learn everything, but it doesn't have to be that way for you. 

Let me guide you.

I've gathered all my knowledge into these videos, so that you too can improve your drawing skills and achieve your dreams!

 

What's Inside 

You'll be going through a simple step-by-step curriculum to master drawing the human body.

We'll be:

  • Drawing The Head
  • Adding Details (Mouth, Eyes, Nose, ...)
  • Drawing The Torso (Female and Male)
  • Legs, Hands, Feet, ...

And much more!

Everything in several points of view and broken down into easy to follow videos.

Less Theory, More Practice

This is a highly practical course.

That means that you'll be practicing alongside me every part of the human body. 

With this practice you'll improve your art skills greatly in a short time!

Not only that, but you'll have work to show for your time.

In fact, if you follow all the Assignments in this course, you'll have a fleshed-out human character drawn in a dynamic pose.

You just need to follow the steps.

  • Master Drawing Anatomy. Every part of the human body covered, no need to memorize muscles here! 
  • Learn How To Draw Proportions for the Human Body. Tall characters, small characters, you'll know how to draw proportions for each.
  • Improve Your Skills And Productivity. Take a fun and challenging step by step approach where I guide you along the way.

You won't need to memorize 1 single muscle name with this course.

F.A.Q 

  • "I don't draw digitally! Can I take this course traditionally (with pen and paper) ?"

YES! I've had many students that take my courses completely traditionally and get amazing results. Use whichever tool you're more comfortable with.

  • "I'm a beginner, I've only recently started drawing. Will this course work for me?"

Absolutely. In fact, this figure drawing course was created with beginner artists in mind! Even if you have never touched a pencil or a drawing tablet before, you'll learn a LOT with this course.

So are you ready to master figure drawing?

I'll see you inside!

And as always,

Keep on drawing.
