Me siento feliz, ante la oportunidad de aprender a Dibujar, siguiendo los pasos de este magnífico MÉTODO. Entiendo que todo será posible, en la medida que yo sea constante en practicar, dibujando, dibujando y siempre dibujando. Gracias.
is there any thing to remeber when doing children
The heads of children are typically larger in relationship to the body. The features also appear lower on the head as well. Look for any comparisons that you use when drawing children. Since children grow at different rates, there is no formula for body shapes.
I have a problem printing the ebooks. On the pages that you draw lightly, the lines do not show up on the printed page. Going forward can you draw the initial sketches a little darker? Or is this a personal problem?
Love! the classes.
Hi Kathleen,
Thanks for your comment. The initial sketches are shown exactly how they are drawn, which is very light in the early stages of a drawing. If the contrast is not strong enough to view when printed out, you may try adjusting the settings through the printer manager on your computer to increase the contrast.
I also have difficulty seeing the light lines on the initial sketches on my laptop. This makes it difficult to follow your lessons.
Hi Matt, I love your method for teaching figure drawing, are you planing doing a course of figure drawing for a more in depth learning of it? It would be awesome.
Yes, that is an issue I have also Matt. You are a great instructor, I just wish for the sake of showing us how to do the sketch, you would please make the light lines a little darker. A few other on line instructors usually just state the fact that for teaching purposes they are making the lines darker. Otherwise I am so happy I found your site. And thank you so much!!
Hi Matt, For the conclusion video, I am still seeing the foreshortening one.
Hi Aurea,
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to update the links. In the meantime, just click on the “Next” button under the video.
Hello Matt,
It has been a great learning here. Thank you so much.
I would like to ask whether there is any course that covers only shading techniques?
Hello Matt
Both Lesson 27 and 28 are foreshortening there is no conclusion video

Awesome, thanks Ron!

Hi Matt,
Hope you are well.
Just wondering if it would be recommended to do this course first before the “pen & Ink experience”? I have done simple drawings but only have slight knowledge and already do little bits of pen and ink work … I just would like to improve on my skills and knowledge when it comes to ink etc….
Thanks 🙂
