Drawing Course: Curriculum

Drawing Professor is an online drawing course designed for people who are interested in developing their drawing technique and artistic abilities  The course blends theory and practice in an engaging and stimulating way that makes learning to draw a lot of fun.

We focus on your development as an artist by providing an assignment framework, that allows you to spend as much time as possible engaged in the process of creation. We place a strong focus on drawing assignments rather than quizzes and while there is a testing component to our course, it is simply meant to help you (our student) cement your understanding of the lessons and allow you to identify areas that you might want to spend more time on. By submitting your assignments, you will receive feedback on your work and development as an artist from one of our drawing professors.
