This page is the hub for learning the fundamentals of drawing. If you're completely new to drawing, the
lessons here will help you build the core habits and techniques that support all forms of visual art.
Each video focuses on one essential skill that artists use every day. You'll learn what supplies you
actually need to get started, how to sharpen your pencil properly, how different pencil grips affect your
marks, and how to build a consistent drawing practice.
Drawing doesn't require expensive materials or complicated tools. In fact, you can begin with something as
simple as a pencil and a sheet of paper. What matters most is learning how to observe, control your marks,
and develop good practice habits.
These lessons are designed to help you develop confidence with your tools and your linework before moving
into more advanced topics like gesture drawing and figure drawing.
If you're just starting out, begin with the Supplies lesson and continue through the videos in order.
Together they will give you a solid foundation for drawing practice and prepare you for the next stage of
learning.

Supplies
You can get started with just a pencil and blank paper-no need for fancy tools.
Graphite pencils, such as HB, are great but have limitations in range and finish.
