About the Course

Every artist has drawn his first drawing. This mini-course is your chance to do it right: with an understanding of what you are doing and with a result that you can be proud of.

In one week, you will go from a blank sheet to a three—dimensional drawing of an apple - with proper layout, shading and chiaroscuro. Azat Nurgaleev shows the whole process in two versions: pencil and Procreate on iPad. Choose what is closest to you. If you are working in another program, the course is suitable for her, because the emphasis is not on the instrument, but on the drawing.

After the course, you will not just have a painted apple — you will have an understanding of how drawing works and the confidence that you can create new works yourself. This is the main result.

What You Will Learn

1. Layout: the ability to correctly position an object on a sheet.
2. Hatching: the main graphic technique for conveying tone and texture.
3. Tonal relations and chiaroscuro: understanding light and shadow as the basis of volume.
4. Modeling a simple shape: how to make a flat contour three-dimensional.
5. Accents and planning: how to place accents in a drawing.
6. Finished drawing: a three-dimensional apple that you can show and be proud of.
