Course Overview
Create compelling drawings using expressive mark making.
How you draw says just as much about you as what you draw. In this second course in the Art & Science of Drawing series, you’ll learn to bring your drawings to life with dynamic and engaging mark making. You’ll learn to truly express yourself through drawing from the most delicate of marks to lines that jump off the page with passionate intensity.
The Art & Science of Drawing is a remarkable program that will teach you how to draw one day at a time. The program is simple, each day you’ll watch one video lesson that will introduce an essential drawing skill, and then do the recommended practice. The Art & Science of Drawing is overflowing with powerful insights into the drawing process and offers some of the clearest, most accessible drawing instruction available. Many of the tools and techniques you'll learn here are rarely seen outside of private art academies.
This course is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn to paint as well. Most master painters agree that drawing is a fundamental and essential skill for all painters.
This course is the second installment of an 8-part series. If you're a beginner, we recommend going through the entire series in the following order:
Basic Skills
Dynamic Mark Making
Form & Space
Measuring & Proportion
Contours
Shading Fundamentals

I halved my 2B and HB pencils with these exercises. I tried to draw some of the drawings, and I can't believe how soft the feel is as I was drawing a pillow. I wanted to take one step further, practicing atmosphere, and used my carbon pencil in my set. It is almost finished. That exercise was great for discovering the material as well!! Thank you, Brent, I feel much more comfortable about drawing every week with your courses!!
