I keep my toolset limited so I can draw anywhere without excuses. You’d be surprised how much you can do with just the bare minimum.

Focus on your creative process to stand out, because people value the human connection that AI can't replace.

I’ll use the 30% truth rule to show how far you can push your style. You only need a fraction of reality to make a drawing feel grounded.

Lost edges help you merge shapes to create a clear focal point.

I’ll show you how to develop your style by drawing the same pose three times. It’s a great way to spot mistakes and push your design further.

The first project of the Drawing Basics course is to challenge yourself to simplify the shapes, edges, and values of a pear or portrait from observation.

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.

Let's pick a design and dive into color and rendering to see how the pieces work on the character.

In this video, I’ll give you an in depth look at what you’ll learn in my Drawing Basics course.

Here’s a project to help you avoid chicken scratch. We’re going to simplify our drawings to C curves, S curves, and straight lines.

There is an endless number of ways to use lines as an artist, so let's jump in and take a look at the basics.

In this project, we'll start learning how to sketch using simple loose lines.

Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first assignment for level 1 students.

A beginner's guide to sketchbooks and paper! Learn about paper types, texture, weight, archivability, and common pitfalls.

Before we start, let's go over tools. I've included an extensive materials shopping list of paper, pencils, markers, erasers, and sharpeners.

All the ways I sharpen pencils. Wooded and woodless graphite pencils, 2.0 and 5.6mm mechanical pencils, charcoal pencils, and eraser pencils!

Master the Tapered Stroke for confident line quality in your sketches! Learn how to construct complex shapes & add energy to your loose sketches.

In our very first critique of the course, I take a look through your simplified pear submissions and give feedback on some of the most common mistakes.

This warmup is a fun way to help you practice drawing ellipses.

In this lesson, we’ll learn about the importance of line weight when creating engaging and interesting art.
