3. The Edge of the Pencil

Lesson 2. We use tone, light, dark and the shades in-between to create illusions of volume and depth. Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales; http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/

2. The Tip of the Pencil

Lesson 1. We use line to define spaces and things. It is not a question of magically getting the line right first time, but of first turning a contour into a line, and then systematically correcting that line until it looks right.

Great course teaching just the very basics

For a 45 year old wanting to learn how to draw, something I've always wanted to do, I found this course to be sufficient in teaching some basics. The instructor clearly articulates the techniques and is easily understood. Can't imagine why somebody gave this course a poor review.

I really enjoy these short episodes. There a quick fun bite of artwork. It doesn’t really pop out at me as anything amazing, but in a age of controversy and ugliness, how could we request less beauty?

This is a great approach to Elements and Principles: scientific. After watching this you can move on to abstraction with ease! Or take one of my classes
