Your Introduction to Realistic Drawing

In our introductory class, you'll learn the essential fundamentals: how to see and abstract shapes, measure objects or models, apply light and shadow, and describe forms through edges. The lessons follow a structured format but adapt to your abilities and learning pace.

We recommend taking this class as your first step, as it is not only aimed at beginners but also lays the general foundation for all further classes with us. To facilitate your entry, we provide the pencils for this class. Please bring smooth Newsprint. See our materials list below. After this class or in parallel, you can focus on other topics, such as drawing portraits or figures, having already practiced the essential principles of realistic drawing in isolation.
