I believe in teaching exactly the skills that you need in order to achieve your goals. Complex theory, mathematics, and overwrought explanations of simple concepts drive me up the wall, and I'm sure you feel the same way. So I design my lessons to give you the kind of experience I had learning under an experienced working artist. This course is designed to be useful for beginning artists and advanced artists too. We'll cover the entire process of drawing simple expressions, male and female examples, studies, and finished pieces. By the end of the course you'll be able to draw various expressions and caricatures with confidence.
Things you will learn:
-
Drawing expressions
-
Drawing expressions through facial features (eye, nose, mouth, teeth expressions)
- Drawing Male and Female expression studies
-
Drawing caricatures (Various head shapes and adjusting feature proportions)
-
Finalized renderings
Learning to draw can be complex and incredibly confusing and frustrating. And to make matters worse, so much instruction seems to be designed not so much with the goal of understanding, but just to impress with overly complex and overblown art speak. I want this to be a place for you to find the answers you need in clear, direct, and actionable lessons. It’s the way I learned, and the way I’ve taught for years. I’m a working artist, and it’s my goal to give you the skills you need to become one too.

This course is suited for illustrators at all levels. You'll need a pencil, eraser and paper, or the device of your choice to follow along. I've included a list of my exact tools in the class project description.
