Begin your drawing journey by focusing on the most fundamental element: line. This course, Introduction to Drawing: Foundations of Line, builds your observational confidence and core technical mark-making abilities. You will begin with essential studio practices, learning how to select materials, document your progress, and participate in constructive artistic critique. Through hands-on exercises, you will explore the dynamic power of line work, mastering rapid gesture drawing to capture energy and motion, precise contour lines to define form, and intentional line variation to convey weight and texture. By the end of this course, you will be able to apply different line-making techniques to accurately depict form, movement, and spatial structure from direct observation.
