The aim of this course is to demystify the process of drawing. The best way to learn is to enjoy what you're doing so Guy has devised lots of short exercises that, while showing you specific points of drawing, are also good fun. He will start with a very basic vocabulary of drawing. These are what he calls the building blocks and getting to grips with these early on will help you as your drawing develops.
