Drawing is often considered the most accessible art form—just pencil, paper, and you. This drawing course strips things back to basics, helping learners understand essential techniques like shading, proportion, perspective, and linework. Whether you're someone who hasn’t touched a pencil since school or you're finally getting around to nurturing a long-standing interest, this course covers the groundwork. It offers structured content that helps turn guesswork into method, guiding learners through simple drawing exercises that build confidence and clarity.

Rather than diving into complex theory or lofty critiques, the course focuses on visual observation and technique. From objects and figures to basic still life arrangements, every module of this drawing course adds something useful to your visual toolkit. Drawing isn’t about creating masterpieces overnight; it’s about training your eye, loosening your hand, and understanding how to see the world in lines and forms. By the end, learners will be able to sketch more confidently, analyse shape and shadow, and approach blank pages without the usual hesitation. And yes, it’s still fun—just with a bit more structure than doodling in the margins.
