What You Will Learn?
- Learn how to draw anything - with accuracy and confidence!.
- There are two ways drawing tends to play out....
- Picture this:.
- SCENARIO #1.
- You find the most inspiring reference and sit down to draw it. You have confidence starting, you get into the flow, and you work through the piece easily, almost like working on a puzzle....
- You’re totally in the zone, relaxed, and having FUN creating your piece. Challenges arise and you know exactly how to tackle them..
- Or maybe it plays out more like this:.
- SCENARIO #2.
- You find the most amazing photo reference! You gather your art tools, sit down and……you freeze. You don’t even know where to start. You start anyway…pushing yourself to draw, only to realize halfway through, everything is in the wrong place and your lines look choppy and disjointed. So you abandon the piece and are left feeling frustrated and discouraged..
- If you relate more to the second scenario, I feel you. It’s a rough place to be as an art lover..
- But you can have the scene play out like that first scenario!.
- Because YOU CAN learn how to draw..
