What You Will Learn?

  • In this drawing for beginners class, I'll walk you through three different approaches to measuring and proportion, taking you from drawing from reference photos, followed by drawing from single objects to finally working from a simple still life..
  • Being able to understand measuring and proportion is an essential skill when you are learning to draw - whether you want to draw realistically, or play with exaggerated proportions to develop your style..
  • As a beginner, we’re often more comfy drawing from reference photographs, and the transition to drawing from life can feel like a daunting task. This class is structured in such a way that we will bridge the gap between drawing from 2D references and drawing from life, whilst investigating how to ensure we are achieving accurate proportions in the process. .
  • We’re going to do this by using three different approaches to using measuring and proportion techniques in 3 mini projects: You can follow along with one, two or all three projects!.
  • W H A T   Y O U   W I L L    L E A R N .
  • These 3 projects give us the opportunity to explore proportion and measuring in a variety of ways, so that by the end of the class you’ll have an amazing toolkit of skills you can bring to any drawing project, whether you’re faced with a flat reference image, or a more complex still life. .
