Classes and timetable
Pick your hour.
Every class is an hour long and needs nothing but a pencil and paper. The lessons are pre-recorded and broadcast at set times, so choose the slot you can actually make, then what you want to draw. New to drawing? Start with First Lines.
2. Which class
Every class runs at every start time.
Start here · the basics
First Lines
The hour that makes the others easier. How to hold the pencil, how to see shapes instead of things, and how to shade so a flat circle turns into a ball.
Sketching people · portraits
Faces
Where the eyes really go (lower than you think), how to measure a face with your pencil, and how to get a likeness without drawing every eyelash.
Sketching people · the body
Figures
People in motion. Gesture lines first, then simple forms, then proportion, so your figures stand, lean and walk instead of posing stiffly.
Sketching places · streets and buildings
Places
Perspective without the maths. One and two-point perspective, explained with a ruler you do not need, so streets recede and buildings stand up straight.
Sketching places · outdoors
Landscapes
Trees that look like trees, skies with depth, and hills that roll back into the distance. How to suggest a whole view with a few textures and tones.
Realism · tone and detail
Realistic Still Life
A slower hour on drawing what you see, not what you think you see. Careful measuring, a full range of tones, and the small details that make a drawing look real.
