Do you want to learn how to draw?

Then our drawing course will be perfect for you.

That's because we've combined years of experience in running drawing courses into a single drawing course for beginners.

In this digital drawing course, you can learn to draw from artist and art teacher Isra Mahameed.

The course is made up of several small video modules that build on each other. You will also find additional resources and some assignments along the way.

Once you have purchased access to the course, you will be able to click on any module below to go to "focus mode". You will then also find the course (and all other courses you have purchased) on "my page".

You have access to the course for a full 6 months, so you can work at your own pace and take it when it suits you.

Step by step, you'll develop your skills and build a solid foundation for becoming a good drawer.

During the course, we'll look at the equipment you need to get started with the drawing. Here we give you some concrete suggestions and provide you with some links to places where you can get hold of the equipment.

We also spend some time showing you what you need to think about before you start drawing. We'll talk about everything from how to hold your pencil to planning, sharpening and simplifying shapes.

We've also created a module on different shading techniques that will be useful for you to recreate realism in your drawing. We'll go through the four most common shading techniques and shade some apples together.

Finally, we'll look at perspective in drawing. We'll talk about one-point perspective and two-point perspective. We'll start with the theoretical before we work together to concretize the ideas in some house drawings.

Does this sound like something for you? Sign up and start the course right away!

If you're already a bit more advanced, we also have other online drawing courses. For example, we have created a separate course on portrait drawing. You can find the portrait drawing course here
