Drawing can be hard! It takes years of practice to become 'good' and there are no shortcuts. Right? Well, maybe not. I've developed a simple three-step process that breaks down drawing anything into simple-to-follow steps that anyone can do. It all starts with basic shapes and lines. You still need to practice, but with these steps it will be much easier to do many of the things that beginning artists find difficult, like getting the proportions right or just knowing where to start. You really can draw anything with these steps! The class will cover this and much more, from styling your work to looking through the eyes of an artist! So, grab your pencil and let's draw! :)

So, grab your pencil and let's draw! :) ______________ Class Outline What you will learn. Easy drawing skills. Yasmina understands that drawing for beginners can be intimidating. With his simple three-step process, he will teach you the fundamentals of good drawing and share his tips and tricks for creating beautiful works of art using simple lines and shapes. Practice exercises. You will work alongside Yasmina as she coaches you through a series of exercises that help you train your hand and increase your confidence. She'll show you how to create deliberate strokes, shapes, lines, and other drawing basics, so even if you're an inexperienced artist, you can jump right into creating new work. At the end of the class, you will be invited to draw two subjects (something you like and something you have never drawn before) to expand your ability and refine your technique. Tricks of the trade. Yasmina believes that the most important part of any drawing practice is observation skills. In her drawing lessons, she will guide you through how to see everyday objects the way she does, "listening to her eyes," paying close attention to her subject, and breaking down even the most complex subjects into rudimentary, easy-to-sketch parts. Use of shapes and lines. You will learn to draw any object working with fundamental geometry. Yasmina will teach you how to reduce your subject to circles, squares and lines, and how to use those essential shapes to give your art a realistic sense of proportion. Refining your theme. Yasmina will explain how to create a perfect outline of your topic one section at a time. You will use your observation skills to work slowly and without pressure. At the end of the process, you will have created an exciting and organic work of art! Adding detail. You'll learn what a "value shift" is, and how to accurately portray shadows and light. Yasmina will also demonstrate how to draw the same image by mixing and adding lines to give you a variety of ways to define your personal style. Live examples. Yasmina will share her thought process while drawing from reference photographs. You'll learn how you approach your subjects, define their geometry, work to outline their proportions, and fill in the details as you see fit. The end results are beautiful, accurate renderings, just like the drawings you'll create! Taking your time. You will be encouraged to slow down, calm your artistic anxieties, and develop your skills naturally by forgiving your mistakes as you begin to draw. The creative process should be fun, and with Yasmina's guidance, it will be. Stylization. Yasmina will discuss how to advance her technique, using visual references as a starting point to create the type of art you enjoy most. You will learn to develop your personal style by exaggerating or simplifying details to create an image of your own. Yasmina will also share simple adjustments you can make to your subject's fundamental shapes to create drawings that are more emotive, complex, or accessible - whatever you want to express! Facial drawings. You will apply Yasmina's three-step process for drawing human faces, breaking down an image into its corresponding shapes and proportions. Then, Yasmina will show you how to change the shapes and features of the reference photo to give your portrait more character and personality. ______________Looking for more inspiration?
