**INTENSIVE Drawing Course - learn to draw independently, step by step** This **intensive drawing course** is for anyone who wants to learn drawing from scratch and master it confidently in the long term. The goal of this course is to guide you step by step **to being able to draw independently** – without reference materials, without uncertainty, and with a solid understanding of form, proportion, and light. The focus is on building a strong foundation that is essential for any drawing style In this course, you'll learn the **absolute basics of drawing** : sketching, shading, and accurate measuring. These three areas form the foundation for both realistic and stylized drawings. You'll learn how to observe subjects correctly, place lines deliberately, and create depth and volume using simple techniques. Measuring proportions, in particular, will help you avoid typical beginner mistakes and significantly improve your drawings. This intensive course is intentionally structured as **an ongoing drawing course**. Drawing is a skill that develops through regular practice. A single session can be inspiring, but it's not enough to make real progress. Through consistent participation, you'll systematically build your knowledge and develop an increasingly refined sense of form, light, and perspective. Each lesson builds upon the previous one and reinforces the concepts learned. A key focus is on **practical application** . You'll actively draw in every lesson and receive individual feedback. I'll personally guide you, show you alternative approaches, and help you develop your own drawing style. The goal is not only to instruct you but also to equip you with the necessary tools to **continue drawing independently** and realize your own designs. ### Draw more, pay less Those who want to draw regularly will benefit from a **course subscription**. With a subscription (4, 6, or 12 lessons), each lesson becomes significantly cheaper. The subscription is ideal for anyone who is motivated, wants to stick with it, and consistently improve their drawing skills. Regular sessions provide structure, routine, and visible progress – exactly what many people need when drawin **For whom?** This intensive drawing course is suitable **for beginners *and motivated newcomers* .** No prior knowledge is required. What's most important is the desire to truly learn how to draw and the willingness to practice regularly. Talent isn't crucial – patience, interest, and consistency are the keys to success. If you want to learn **to draw confidently and independently** , solidify your basics and improve step by step, this intensive course is just right for you.

< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > DE Fürs Wochenende ist gutes Wetter angesagt, also geht es diesmal wieder nach draussen. Albisrieden gehört zu den Quartieren, in denen man noch etwas vom alten dörflichen Zürich spürt: rund um den historischen Kern treffen Fachwerkhäuser, enge Gassen, Brunnen und gewachsene Strukturen aufeinander. Gerade dieser Kontrast macht den Ort spannend fürs Urban Sketching. Treffpunkt: Am Brunnen im Dorfzentrum, direkt beim Ortsmuseum an der Ecke Albisriederstrasse / Triemlistrasse. Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und idealerweise einen kleinen Klapphocker mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich ⸻ EN The forecast for the weekend looks good, so this time we are heading outdoors again. Albisrieden is one of those Zurich districts where you can still sense something of the city’s village past: around the historic centre, timber-framed houses, narrow lanes, fountains and long-established public spaces meet everyday neighbourhood life. That contrast makes it especially appealing for urban sketching. Meeting point: At the fountain in the village centre, right by the local museum (Ortsmuseum) at the corner of Albisriederstrasse / Triemlistrasse. Please bring your own drawing materials and, ideally, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich

Manga zeichnen wirkt auf den ersten Blick oft kompliziert und einschüchternd. Die ausdrucksstarken Augen, die besonderen Gesichtszüge und die dynamischen Figuren lassen viele glauben, dass man dafür jahrelange Erfahrung braucht. Doch genau hier setzt dieser Manga-Zeichenworkshop an: Manga zu zeichnen ist viel einfacher, als du denkst, wenn man die richtigen Grundlagen lernt und Schritt für Schritt angeleitet wird. In meinen Manga-Zeichenworkshops lernen Kinder und Jugendliche auf spielerische und verständliche Weise die wichtigsten Techniken des Manga-Zeichnens kennen. Der Kurs ist so aufgebaut, dass er auch ohne Vorkenntnisse gut verständlich ist und von Anfang an Erfolgserlebnisse vermittelt. Ziel ist es, den Teilnehmenden die Angst vor dem Zeichnen zu nehmen und ihre Kreativität zu fördern. Alle benötigten Materialien sind im Kurs inklusive, sodass nichts mitgebracht werden muss. Zeichenpapier, Stifte und weitere Materialien stehen vor Ort zur Verfügung. Ablauf: Aufwärm- und Sketch-Übungen (10–15 Minuten) Zu Beginn lockern wir die Hand mit einfachen Zeichenübungen und schnellen Skizzen. Diese helfen, Sicherheit im Strich zu entwickeln und entspannt ins Zeichnen zu starten. Grundlagen: Manga-Gesichter (ca. 30 Minuten) Du lernst Schritt für Schritt, wie typische Manga-Gesichter aufgebaut sind – von der Grundform über Proportionen bis hin zu Augen, Nase, Mund und Gesichtsausdruck. Gemeinsam eine Manga-Figur zeichnen (45–60 Minuten) Anschliessend setzen wir das Gelernte um und zeichnen gemeinsam eine komplette Manga-Figur. Dabei lernst du, wie Charaktere lebendig wirken und wie kleine Details Persönlichkeit vermitteln.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
