Описание: The Fundamentals of Drawing course is the complete guide to learning to draw with 4 essential modules, with each building on top of each other that can be studied together or separately, these are:
Proportion, Shapes, Edges & Values, Composition.
With these essentials you will be able to tackle any subject in any medium with confidence all from the comfort of your own home.

Module 1 focuses on the hardest challenge facing every art student, that of finding accurate proportion. Founder of Draw At Home Christopher A E Gray will guide you through this challenge explaining key concepts in a clear and logical way.
Each lesson gradually builds up in complexity and design meaning you are never left lost or unsure how to proceed until you are mastering complex subjects you never thought possible, enabling anyone who has never picked up a pencil before to express themselves visually.

In this 3 part video series Chris will explain the histories and theories behind the 3 main techniques used for finding accurate proportion within drawings. As well as this detailed insight he will also delve into pros, cons and the practical application of proportion in drawing and why Draw At Home uses one particular one above all.

In part 2 Chris will look at the sight size method for finding accurate proportion within drawing. It is one of the most common method used in schools that teach representational art and after gridding arguably the easiest method for beginners to learn and master.
Starting with the roots of the sight size method and what "sight size" actually is, along with its documented use from teachers and artists like John Singer Sargent, Henry Raeburn and Harold Speed, Chris dissects the sight size method and reveals its advantages but also importantly its draw backs for the student.
