Course Overview
Learn the Basics of Sketching and Drawing
Drawing and sketching can seem like magic if you don't know how to do it. It's not magic, it's a skill. that means it can be taught and I will be your instructor. Just like anything and everything you have learned you had to know the very basics. You can't do math without knowing how to count and you can't drive without knowing what the key looks like.
This course is your "key". All drawing starts with lines, some are straight, some are curved and rough but all are lines. Lines are used to make shapes and shapes become volumes (3d shapes) and everything in the world is made from shapes.
I will teach you to use those shapes. I will show you how to make lines shapes and volumes. You will learn to hone your observational skills and draw what you see, and even what is in your head if you study and practice enough.
You need no experience in drawing. Absolutely zero ! There is no special software just a regular pencil and some paper.
If you have always wanted to learn to draw this is the course for you. If you are a graphic artist that knows learning to draw will save you time and money, take this course. If you want to make comics or cartoons then this will be the course that will be your starting point.
This is the beginner class. Often books tell you to start by making 3d shapes but what if you are having trouble with that? If you are , I got you covered.

Es excelente para un principiante: como el profesor dice, muchos recursos de aprendizaje dicen "has tal cosa así" (por ej, dibujar desde el hombro o como sujetar el lápiz), cosas que a mi personalmente me había frustrado mucho. Además, explica muy bien hasta ahora (voy recién en las primeras secciones) lo que hace que incluso en videos cortos, se entienda a lo que se refiere. Y lo otro, aunque parezca tonto: te sientes apoyado; otros cursos que eh tomado para principiantes tienen un discurso de "debes poder hacer esto, aunque seas principiante" y con este curso realmente te sientes "bienvenido" como alguien que recién empieza.

I had done some of this basic courses before, and I feel like this one was okay if you were a newer person, but if you've done other courses on Udemy that he has, there's not much of a point to this one as there are better ones that he's done.

I love the way how you explain everything very down to earth, no hoity-toity fluff stuff. It's easy to follow, fun to try out and see how I make progress. Thank you so much for your effort you put into this course I really appreciate it. When I've finished this I gonna go on to the next one. (Btw "staedtler" is pronounced 'shdetlah' ;) :) )
