Ever stared at a blank page, wanting to draw but not knowing where to begin? This course removes that barrier through a rational yet playful system that works regardless of your starting point or age.
Puño, a professional illustrator and educator since 1994, breaks down drawing into digestible thought processes rather than overwhelming techniques. You’ll move from proto-drawing exercises like doodling and hand studies to mastering geometric shapes as your creative foundation. The curriculum covers cellophane collages, texture exploration, character creation through prosopography, and urban sketching techniques.
What sets this apart is the focus on understanding how drawing works mentally, not just mechanically. Each of the 18 lessons includes specific exercises that double as practice and instruction. You’ll tackle drawing restrictions, sketch people in real settings, and participate in group drawing games that build confidence.
Your final project is a complete sketchbook showcasing your progress from first marks to finished illustrations. This tangible portfolio becomes both a personal achievement and shareable work to build an online following. The course includes group activities perfect for teachers and parents seeking fresh creative exercises.
With over 273,000 students and 99% positive ratings, this beginner-friendly approach has proven effective for complete novices and creative professionals alike. You’ll need basic supplies: notebooks, pencils, markers, rulers, geometric templates, and everyday materials like old magazines.
