Graphite Realism Drawing Course

• Have you always wanted to draw but you feel like you do not have enough talent?
• Have you tried drawing in the past but you have always felt disappointed with the end results?
• Are you interested in enhancing your artistic skills?
• Are you having a challenging time having your drawings look realistic?
• Are you frustrated with the high-speed tutorials on YouTube that do not explain anything?

If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above then my drawing courses are for you.

There are plenty of drawing programs out there that focus on one area or skip over important rules and techniques you will need to understand so you can enhance your drawing skills.

With my drawing courses, I will not only cover the important rules you will need to know but I will also show you in real-time how I tackle every unique challenge that arises with every subject I cover.

I believe that everyone can learn how to draw. I want to share with you what I have learned over the past 40 years to help make the learning process quicker for you. I will not only cover what works best for me but I will also share with you the mistakes I have made throughout my career.

I have been coaching people for over 25 years and I have learned that everyone learns differently. Every person has different strengths and different approaches. My mission is to provide you with valuable information so you can learn how to draw what you see. I also encourage you to learn what works best for you so you can develop a unique style that will share your message as an artist.

This course will cover some of the most important rules of realism drawing, mapping out the subject's proportions, identifying the light source, seeing soft value changes, controlling your drawing tools and protecting your drawing surface. If you are just learning how to draw or you are struggling with certain techniques, this course is a wonderful place for you to start.
