About this course
This course is suitable for anyone who has gained basic drawing skills, able to draw from images and three dimensional objects with a reasonable level of accuracy, who wants to expand their drawing skills a little further.
It is advisable that you have attended a beginner’s course in drawing, for example ‘Get started with drawing’ which covered how to measure and copy an image and three dimensional objects, the basics of cross hatching to add tonal value and shape to forms and explored experimenting with marks and shapes within landscape sketching.
