         "How Can I Learn to Draw"
I have been a teacher of drawing and painting for many years and since 2001 online. I kept having prospective students ask to just study drawing and sketching. So here is my answer to those students.

hyst Learn To Draw 101, One LEsson Starte Course
   
This simple, economical starter course consists of the following.

  • A great art textbook to learn drawing which covers the whole range of drawing tools, techniques. It has step by step demonstrations and exercises.
  • A Lesson Assignment on your Home Index page on the school website.
  • A pad of art paper for your serious sketches for submission for my critique
    (9" X 12", 24 sheets).
  • A pencil kit (shown below).
  • A bound Sketchbook (artists carry these with them for sketching wherever they are as a practice tool) 160 pages.
  • My hand drawn critique, posted on the school website for your viewing 24/7/365.
  • A Digital Camera to take pictures of your Lesson Assignment Artwork to send to me for a Critique.
  • Your Home Index Page will always have the option to order additional Critiques of your work after completion of the Starter Course for $50 per image submitted ( another still life or figure or face drawing, a landscape drawing, etc. that you may want the help of a professional artists (me) in the future.

Costs and enrollment by Credit Card buttons are on the bottom of this page.

Some students could use this as their entry point to a fuller education in becoming an artist or improving their capabilities. Start here with a basic grounding in drawing and form and then see if you want to go further later into composition, color theory, perspective and the other skills and steps in picture making.

See a sample critique (though this is a color /oil critique) which shows the level of quality of the critique you will get of your work at:

(I will be putting a pure drawing critique sample soon as I have my first student for this new lower cost, highly featured course who gives me permission to show their critique).

Once you have registered and completed the enrollment questionnaire, your textbook, digital camera (unless you have one and enroll at the lower enrollment fee below for those who already have their own digital camera), personal access code to you Personal Home Page on the school web site, and your materials kit will be mailed to you. We pay all shipping costs to you. Shipping costs are included in enrollment fees below. Allow up to 15 days for your drawing lessons package to arrive. See school policies at
