In this tutorial, I show things that helped me learn how to draw! We will go from the very basics of drawing, to more advanced figure drawing! This video is designed for everybody looking to learn how to draw, from beginner to advanced! Everybody's sure to learn something!

I also go over my experiences in drawing, and kinda share what helped me when I was learning to draw. (Because drawing did not come naturally to me, I couldn't draw a stick figure either). So, if you feel like you can't draw, don't despair because I used to be in the same position as you! These drawing exercises helped me learn how to draw anything, from people, to girls, to landscapes, to cars, and animals!

  • Wow ! Great tutorial that literally help beginner to learn about sketching and drawing basic
    Thank you Class Central to providing amazing tutorial
  • Michael Fusco
    This is a fun way to get some basics in drawing. It's fun...the animated guy is great...it feels like fun and I was surprised to be able to draw human figures basically while following along...pausing and rewatching to get some of the exercises in is good way to get more out of the lesson. I want to rewatch the figure drawing procedure a few more times and practice so it's second nature...

    The course is basic to quick intro into figure drawings. It is not in detail but overall, its surely fun to get quick overview of everything. I enjoyed the course and trying to draw side by side. It's interesting.

    I like it causeof the graphics it uses. But I prefer if the speaker uses a real pen to see how it moves the pen and arm.

    This is Nick Roy. I have always been into art since I was 8. This is a great course and it helps me get a better understanding of drawing and how things work. I have been looking for a free drawing course everywhere and this one here is special. I love this course and appreciate it very much, so much that I might even take it again!
