Drawing isn’t just a skill — it’s how you learn to see the world.
In this 6-week foundation course, you’ll build the most essential skill in all of visual arts: the ability to observe, interpret, and translate the 3D world around you onto a flat surface.
Through structured exercises, step-by-step techniques, and personal guidance, you’ll learn how to truly see shapes, light, proportions, and perspective — and how to bring life, soul, and composition to anything you draw.
This course is perfect for beginners and creative explorers who want to strengthen their artistic foundation before moving on to painting, illustration, or any other medium.
We’ll keep it relaxed and beginner-friendly, but make no mistake: this is the alpha of all creative learning. Master this, and you’ll see the world — and your creativity — in a whole new light.
✏️ What to Expect
- Step-by-step weekly guidance from a professional artist
- Structured exercises to sharpen observation & drawing skills
- Personal tips to help you build your confidence and style
- A relaxed and supportive studio space to practise and explore
🧠 What You’ll Learn
- How to see like an artist: shapes, edges, light, and shadow
- Observational drawing: measuring, proportions, perspective
- Line quality, shading, and building form on paper
- How to add life and character to your drawings
- The basics of composition and storytelling through drawing
🎁 What’s Included
We provide everything you need:
- All materials: paper, pencils, erasers, drawing tools
- Full use of our professional studio and resources
Just bring your curiosity — we’ll take care of the rest.
🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?
Absolutely. If you’ve ever said “I can’t draw,”
this course is here to prove you wrong — and show you how to start seeing like an artist.
Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to strengthen their creative foundation before diving into painting, illustration, or any other art form.
