About this course

Pencil drawing is one of the oldest and simplest forms of art, with most artists beginning their artistic journey by learning the basics and principles of pencil drawing. This course is designed to provide you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to start learning pencil drawing and shading, from understanding the drawing tools used to mastering shading techniques and fine details. The course begins by introducing you to the different types of pencils and their various shading grades. We will then cover how to sharpen the pencil and use it correctly, and how to move your hand effectively. Additionally, you will learn about different types of erasers and how to use them for specific techniques, as well as how to choose the right paper. You will also learn how to measure accurate proportions and apply dimensions and shadows, starting with shading simple shapes to detailed shading of backgrounds, which adds depth and an aesthetic touch to drawings and paintings. We will also discuss important artistic compositions and how to use perspective to achieve depth and realism in your drawings. Finally, you will apply everything you have learned to drawing pieces featuring single elements or multiple composite elements, illustrating the differences between drawing glass, metal, pottery, fruits, and vegetables.
