What You’ll Learn

Explore line, form, perspective, light, and observation.

Develop your observational skills through still life, composition, light, texture, and three-dimensional form.

3. Personal Focus
Explore subjects that interest you, such as portraiture, anatomy, landscape, urban drawing, anime, fashion, comics, or cartoon.
Throughout the course, you’ll receive individual feedback, weekly assignments, learning resources, and practical guidance to help you develop both your technique and your personal artistic direction.
