Since the dawn of the Stone Age, drawing has been a primary method of human expression, one of man’s many tools of reflection and interpretation. But it wasn't until paper became widely available in Renaissance Europe that drawing masters such as Leonardo da Vinci could show the world what amazing things could be done with simple lines and shapes. Ever since, a growing number of people have embraced drawing in its myriad forms and applications: doodling, sketching, cartoons, caricatures, architectural blueprints, engineering, planning, inventing, modeling—and the list goes on.

In these intermediate drawing lessons, learn how to transform simple shapes into an abstract creation. Our expert will help you understand how to use cubes and prisms, as well as bend the rules of perspective, to create a feeling of dynamic action in your drawings. The effects shown here can be achieved easily with a little creativity, practice, and a smattering of Euclidean geometry. In each drawing video, our expert will walk you through step-by-step, demonstrating how to form complicated shapes from basic ones, as well as how to add depth and dimension to your work through shading and highlighting.

So, let’s get started!
