DS103 Drawing from Line to Life


Beginner Level Drawing
Duration: 10 weeks
With Mike Sibley
Successful completion will provide you with the following credits towards certification: Technical: 3, Shading: 6, Contours: 1

Based on Mike's drawing bible "Drawing from Line to Life", this Novice Course is for artists who have a little knowledge and a desire to progress to a higher level.

The course uses the same natural progression of drawing techniques that Mike teaches in his UK and USA physical workshops, which has benefited artists who work in many mediums - from watercolour to pen & ink, and sculptors to pastelists.

You will be taken step-by-step through the fundamental drawing techniques - each technique leading naturally to the next. Using a series of drawing exercises, you'll learn not only the 'How' but also the more important 'Why', which Mike will explain in depth. This course can even be undertaken by absolute beginners, although some prior knowledge of the basics might be helpful. You need to devote a minimum of four to six hours per week, and possibly more in the final two weeks.
