Course Description

Overview

Essential, Pure, Minimalistic...
Are you ready to explore a new way of drawing?


Today I'm here to show you how you can start one line drawing!
We'll explore this technique by using nature as a reference and I'll guide you through 4 steps that will take you from a complex image, your reference photo, to a single line drawing.


One line drawing is not just about a trend but it's a great way to boost your imagination and learn a new drawing skill!


In this course you will learn how to:

  • find a reference photo
  • make a basic sketch from a complex image
  • draw anything with one line
  • create delicate and pastel colors to add to your illustration

Also, I'll give you some creative ideas you can use as inspiration for your class project! We'll make a bookmark, an art journal page, and simple illustrations you can frame.

If it's your first time making a one-line drawing, no worries because this class is totally beginner-friendly and you'll find many exercises that will get you started and feel comfortable drawing continuously.
