This free course helps you build real drawing skills through quick, fun exercises that fit into even the busiest schedule. Each activity has levels from beginner to pro, so you can improve no matter where you start.
All you need is a small sketchbook, a pen, and your phone. With exercises you can do in just a few minutes, you’ll learn to draw with confidence — anywhere, anytime, and at your own pace.
On this website, you will find many unique one-of-a-kind resources specifically designed to help you practice drawing. In this course, I’ll give a grand overview of what is there and how you can use it to improve your drawing skills.
This course is designed to lead you through the different types of drawing exercises you can do using the resources on this website. Each practice session itself goes from beginner to advanced, and each practice session is self-contained so that you can jump in at the drawing exercise you fancy at the level you are at.
Observation is the first thing you have to focus on when learning to draw. Your hand is accurate enough to write, so it is precise enough to draw. And if you can read, your eyes work well enough. From there on, it’s all about what happens in your brain. Observation happens in your brain.

We practiced primitive 3D forms in an earlier chapter. These are functional building blocks for constructing more complex three-dimensional forms. But they become even more powerful if you allow yourself to manipulate the forms further, and that is what this practice session is about.
