Is drawing something you've always wanted to learn how to do but you don't know where to start? In this course by Puño —illustrator and teacher— you'll learn the keys to becoming a drawing expert, regardless of your starting level or age, through a new, rational, and playful approach to drawing.

In this course, there are tons of dynamics and exercises designed to help you understand each of the thought processes involved in learning how to draw. These exercises will also serve as practice and as an instruction manual to help you create and complete your final project: your very first sketchbook.

This course by Puño is the perfect addition to his other online courses Original Illustration by Your Hand and Tablet, where he teaches digital drawing and printing, From Amateur to Superillustrator, where you'll improve your drawing skills, and Drawing and Creativity for Big Little Artists, a course designed to practice creativity using just your hands, brain, and some basic tools.

Description

Create your first sketchbook by applying basic techniques for drawing by hand

You’ll start by getting to know Puño and his work, as well as his love for drawing and his experience as a teacher.

He’ll show you some ancient references, based on neuroscience and creativity that will motivate you and serve as a conceptual foundation.

Once these first concepts have been laid out, you’ll enter the proto-drawing phase. In other words, you’ll practice simple drawing techniques. You’ll illustrate a hand, create patterns until you fill a piece of paper, and make a collage by drawing on magazine scraps.

At this point, you won't be afraid of pencils anymore, and the next step will be to learn what Puño calls the artist’s ABCs: geometric forms, gestural expressions, literary resources applied to the visual side of things, and games for two or more sketch artists.

You’ll then do some restriction exercises, you’ll learn how to draw in the streets, and some games to play with other sketch artists, such as yourself.
