Discover the “secrets” to draw anything you see!
Do you love to paint but your figures don’t look quite right? After my course, you will have solid drawing skills to make any painting beautiful!
Welcome to the drawing instruction course that will do what other courses you’ve tried haven’t done: give you the tools to draw anything you see with greater ease and accuracy than you’ve ever experienced before!
You DON’T have to be “born with talent” because ANYONE can learn what to do to make any drawing appear sophisticated.
AND discover how to increase your creativity and improve your visual, spatial skills.
YOU can be an artist!
So many people struggle with confidence and ability when they try to pursue their passion in drawing and painting.
Are you one of them?
Even if you have spent your time, effort, and money to improve your drawing ability, you probably still secretly wonder if you’re just “not meant to be an artist.” You’re disappointed, frustrated, and resigned to drawing pictures that look like child’s drawings.
Well, your frustrating journey is OVER!
The Shawl, by Sarah Parks
What Will This Course Do For YOU?
If you are like most new or even long-time artists, you understand the struggle to get your lines smooth and well-connected, your figures graceful and well-proportioned, and your shading subtle. You know these skills are essential to any professional-looking drawing but you may have also known how frustrating these principles can be to grasp.
It seems like you have tried classes and programs and instructors, and only ended up with more amateurish drawings. You may be frustrated that you have made the progress you expected and you may even be suspecting it must take many years to accomplish this.
This drawing instruction course is a straight-forward, easily understood, detailed method to:
Get the proper tools you need so you don’t waste your money buying supplies you don’t need.
Understand basic shapes and how to build any drawing from them.
Use proven pencil techniques that will allow your drawing to flower onto the paper.
Train your eye to observe accurately with time-tested principles of drawing.
Shade your drawing realistically.
Learn how to get the scale, proportion, and perspective of your drawing correct.
Learn proper facial and body proportions.
Get movement and life into your drawings – no more awkward stick figures!
Learn how to get the correct placement on the page so your drawing doesn’t run off the page.
See a beautiful flower arrangement or object or recreate it on the page.
Draw buildings, people, landscapes, and objects accurately using proper perspective.
It is true that it is your DESIRE to draw that is your greatest tool. But whether you want to be an accomplished artist, portrait artist, video game artist, film artist, or a commissioned fine artist, you need to know the skills I teach you in my drawing series.

Here’s what’s in
Drawing Secrets Revealed: Video Art Course
Online Drawing Instruction
This is a COLLEGE-LEVEL course that is worth your money but worded and explained to be easy for a 14-year-old to comprehend and follow. For the monthly membership pricing option, each module of this drawing instruction is released WEEKLY to allow you time to watch the video lesson and practice the concepts presented for maximum absorption.
Each lesson includes a new video that teaches you specific secrets to mastering drawing, as well as exercises and supplemental materials conveniently accessible beneath the corresponding video:
Lesson 1: Getting Started
In the first lesson, I lay the groundwork for a successful learning experience by showing you all the materials necessary for this course and a brief overview of why they are useful. I also demonstrate various pencil grips and when they are needed, as this is one of the secrets to successful drawing.
I will also be sharing some shading techniques as well as tips that you probably won’t find elsewhere, tips that I myself use every time I draw and paint!
Getting Started Lesson Preview:
Lesson 2: Basic Shapes
Become familiar with the basic shapes that are found in any composition and see in detail how to incorporate them into your drawing. Once you train your eyes to see the basic shapes in a composition, you will find sketching that composition exponentially easier!
Basic Shapes Lesson Preview:
Lesson 3: The Block-In
Discover how to get the outline of your image placed correctly on the page. Ground your drawing philosophy in the basic but often-missed concept of “start big, go small” – technique even used by the Old Masters! You will see the progressive stages of drawing as you learn to start a drawing “big and loose” and only then work in your details.
This is one of the most elusive concepts for artists to grasp, and artists who miss it produce amateur work. But I will teach you how.
Block-In Lesson Preview:
Lesson 4: Values
In this lesson, you will learn how to correctly evaluate lights and darks in your compositions to make your drawings realistic and three-dimensional.
Be aware that even if you have drawing experience, chances are very good that you will learn something new and extremely valuable in this lesson.
Values Lesson Preview:
Lesson 5: Action Drawing
This lesson will loosen you up so you can see the dynamic movement that is the core of your drawing. My students say this lesson was particularly helpful as they steadily broke their habit of starting a drawing with details by putting in details too soon.
Action Drawing Lesson Preview:
Lesson 6: Relative Proportions
In this lesson, you will explore beyond the proportions of individual objects, and see how objects relate to each other. Many compositions include more than one subject, and this lesson is important to help you gauge proportions by measuring objects against others.
Relative Proportions Lesson Preview:
Lesson 7: Facial Proportions
One of the most interesting and compelling, and therefore popular, areas of art is the human face and form. Once you have a solid foundation such as I provide in Lessons 1-6, you will be ready to embark on the journey from seeing an interesting subject to actually being able to render that likeness on the page.
This lesson includes some time-tested techniques that will help you understand the “HOW,” not just the “WHAT.” You will also learn how to examine individual faces and make small adjustments that can be the difference between an accurate likeness and an inaccurate one.
Facial Proportions Lesson Preview:
Lesson 8: Body Proportions
This lesson will teach you the classic proportions of the human body. Being able to draw a human figure is not just something you “naturally” do, nor is it just “chance” that you happen to draw a good figure once.
There are scientific, quantifiable methods for capturing proper human proportions. As in the Facial Proportions lesson, you will learn how to make adjustments to accurately depict specific figure types.
Body Proportions Lesson Preview:
Lesson 9: Learning to Grid
Teaching students the process of gridding is one of the most rewarding for me because I can see in a very short time many “a-ha!” moments from my students. As they begin to perceive shapes and shadows instead of lines and objects, which is what you have already begun to do by this lesson, they are able to tackle more detailed work such as facial features with greater ease and accuracy than they ever expected!
Learning to Grid Lesson Preview:
Lesson 10: Gridding the Human Face
Once you have mastered gridding facial features, you will be prepared to combine all of the elements of the human face together with greater precision. This is a technique that the great Renaissance artist Raphael used to transfer his model image to a larger surface area.
Gridding the Human Face Lesson Preview:
Lesson 11: Linear Perspective - UPDATED!
This is a concept that most teachers will present at the front end of their instruction, but I have it toward the end because there is a necessary foundation you must build before you can proficiently incorporate perspective.
It is essential, but through my years of training and learning, I have come to the conclusion that perspective is better taught after more foundational principles. If you have any interest at all in including landscapes, cityscapes, or any kind of architecture in your drawings, this lesson is an absolute MUST.
UPDATE: NOW, Linear Perspective, formerly split into Lessons 11 and 12, has been combined into Lesson 11, to leave room for a whole NEW lesson on COMPOSITION!
Linear Perspective Lesson Preview:
Lesson 12: Elements of Composition – UPDATED!
Fittingly placed at the end of the “Drawing Secrets Revealed” series but able to stand alone, “Elements of Composition” punctuates all the concepts presented in the series with terrific tips and “secrets” for identifying and arranging interesting, compelling compositions to draw or paint. Even having all your drawing skills mastered is no guarantee that viewers will be arrested by your work. This lesson gives you the tools to accomplish this!
Elements of Perspective Lesson Preview:
By the end of Lesson 12, you will have all the drawing instruction you need to finish a drawing of anything you choose!
