Description
Iván Salamanca begins the course by telling you a bit about himself and his drawings. He also discusses the artists that have impacted his life and influenced his work before giving you an overview of the course content.
Lay the foundation for your project by going over all the materials you need and understand how to select the right ones depending on what you want to create. Then, learn some techniques and approaches to drawing with pencil.
