In this class, we'll be drawing seven small sketches, each aimed at helping you think about perspective in a different way, or learn the basics of a new skill in perspective sketching. Want to try Skillshare (and this class) for free? Here's a trial: https://skl.sh/446Lle3 Each drawing revolves around two key themes: messy sketching, and small sketching. By drawing small, we can focus on the big ideas and main "focus" of each sketch, without sweating the small details. We also want to get messy! We're not aiming for perfect lines, or fridge-worthy art. Instead, by sketching messy practice drawings, you can focus on the core concepts without worrying about the final product. You'll draw: A line study sheet Boxes above and below the viewer using one-point perspective A floating sphere A mug (multi-sided or round shape) A layered forest A towering skyscraper Your view! A basic sketch of a scene near you. Ok, ok enough promo! Come draw with me on Skillsahre! https://skl.sh/446Lle3

Full perspective drawing tutorial up now on my channel ???

When you start drawing (or painting , or ?. Whatever) a few things LIKELY will happen: - You'll get frustrated: Art is tough. And especially for new artists, it's easy to compare your own drawing style to the artists you admire. This can be discouraging! But it's key to focus on the basics and techniques - don't try to copy the exact style of ANY artist you learn from. - You'll get inspired: Art is all about inspiration. Once you begin practicing your own art, you may be more likely to notice, and appreciate, the art all around you. Comics, movies, books, Ads! Artists give colour to our world - when you start drawing, you join this mission too. Even if your art only ends up on the fridge! - You'll become dissatisfied. No matter how far you progress, I think a mark of a great artist is a level of dissatisfaction in what they're creating - that drives us to experiment! And that's not the same thing as disliking your art. Instead, it's focusing on what's next - how you can evolve. I've taught art for four years and still have a million things to learn. Come along for the journey
