Drawing
Before I even begin, I have to thank Stan Prokopenko for the tremendous work he has done in teaching drawing online. His tutorials on Youtube and his website are an incredible resource for learning, and I will borrow from him heavily in the following lessons. Please note, I am not exclusively copying his lessons, but reaching for many sources, based on my own progression as an artist. I have also paid for every lesson I use from Proko.
This course is a work in progress. I will be writing and editing these lessons throughout the year. For the moment it's organized by topic, but I will come back and rearrange these lessons based on difficulty level, once I can figure out a logical sequence for everything. Click the links for the lessons (check back for updates as I add links!), and enjoy. Good luck!
NOTE: These lessons contain exercises. To get the most out of each exercise, don't do it just once. These are like scales in music, you have to practice them daily to improve. Just as with music, you can get rusty if you stop practicing. Exercises are organized into Level 1 for beginners, Level 2 for intermediate, and Level 3 for advanced students.
