Welcome to the wonderful world of drawing for fun!
Would you like to quickly sketch 5 woodland animals; a bear, a bird, fox, bunny and squirrel from memory? There's more to it though...this is just the beginning. The process I show you will help you to draw all different animals too!
At first we'll begin slowly as you discover how to see and use shapes in your drawing. I'll teach you simple methods that professional artists use. With practice you could even be drawing your animals in just 60 seconds just like I demonstrate in these videos.
Theres also more animals to practice afterwards and with left and right facing views and shading! I've included another booklet on plants, leaves and flowers too.
Here are just a few of the pro tips I'll be sharing with you...
Your 4 major skills for drawing - draw better immediately
These 4 skills will immediately improve your drawing skills in general. They're skills that most of us are born with and use on a daily basis. We're going to use these skills while we draw our woodland animals.
Learn to draw and memorise 5 woodland animals
Have you ever tried to draw woodland animals only to discover you aren't sure how to draw them? Maybe you've tried but what comes out of your hand is definitely not what you had in your mind. I know how you feel. I felt the same way once upon a time, until I realised that actually the secret to all dawing is to start out with shapes first.
Shade 5 woodland animals using 5 areas of light and shadow
Have you ever wondered where you should be putting the highlights and shadows in your drawings? Use this very simple theory to place your shadows in 5 different areas to make your images more realistic.
A simple system using just 3 ways to shade
Did you know that there are just 3 different ways to shade and if you use these in the right places your drawings will look more realistic and have that wonderful sense of form.
A fully planned image
Once I've shown you how to draw your woodland animals individually, then I'll show you how to create an entire image. You'll learn where to put things in the various areas of a picture including foreground, middle ground and background.
Plus loads of other tips and techniques sprinkled liberally throughout the course...
This course was filmed in real-time with just a few small edits to keep it flowing for you. As I'm drawing I chat about little nuggets of graphite pencil wisdom all throughout. No boring bits I promise!
Works with cheap pencils and professional brands too
The great news is that for this course it's up to you what pencils and paper you choose to use. I've especially chosen a range that you can buy from a stationery store just to show you that it can be done! Its all about technique! The techniques I'm revealing will work with cheap supermarket brand-name pencils as well as the more expensive professional brands.
