Learning How to Draw

Get the full drawing basics course - Drawing is a visual language that can be learned just like any other language, and anyone can pick it up with the right guidance and practice. This lesson covers physical skills, like hand-eye coordination, and intellectual skills, like understanding perspective and shading that you’ll need in order to draw the images you imagine or observe. Keep in mind that these skills can be learned and improved, regardless of age or natural talent.
