- Lessons contained in Learn to Draw in 18 Steps are going to change the trajectory of your art journey.
- Now included in this course: 7 Day Artist Trainer Workbook, a guide designed to help you hit the ground running on your art path.
I surveyed over 3000 artists and art students for their top questions about learning to draw, and about learning through courses. Some of the most common answers included “no in-depth explanations, not sure where to start with improving in drawing, no in-depth content, making things seem easy when they are not.”
This is why I structured this course in a specific sequence, to keep your progress measurable, easy to understand, and actionable.
- Video lectures can be slowed or sped-up (in this course the narration is calm and slow-paced allowing you to follow along without pausing every 2 seconds, but you can always pause or even speed up the narration if you wish).
- Important topics are explained in multiple ways, and reoccur throughout the steps (time-spaced repetition allows for complicated material to be absorbed and implemented properly).
