About the Course

In the first part of the online course, you will study complex perspective and deformation of objects, work with various types of fabric and folds, and draw an object with complex modeling of shape and details. The second part of the online course is devoted to the plastics of the natural world — using the example of trees and animal skulls, you will learn to convey movement, silhouette, rhythm, and graphic techniques.
