“How To Draw Drapery Folds And Fabrics” How-To Video
One of the most fun and challenging subjects artists often like to take on is fabric. And let’s face it – most of your portraits and figure drawings are going to have some fabric in them. Different fabrics yield different folds, and each type has its own characteristics. In this video, you will learn quite a few different fold types, have a variety of reference photos to help you as you learn, and benefit from my drawing tips and secrets as I explain how I drew the folds. At only $7, this is a steal! $7

A challenge for many artists is to accurately render reflective objects such as vases, bottles, glass, mirrors, precious metals, pipes, doorknobs, candleholders, and so many more. Not only do you receive a how-to video tutorial to help you overcome this challenge, but you also receive a series of reference photos that will help you practice! $7

I show you a great trick that will enable you to accurately render the diminishing perspective of any equally sized objects! $7

One-Time Art Critique with Sarah Parks
One of the most invaluable resources available to an artist to help them develop their skills is professional critique. It’s one thing to ask your friend or neighbor if they like your work, but a professional artist is able to pinpoint exactly what works in your drawing or painting and what needs improvement. Moreover, a professional artist has the knowledge to explain exactly how to improve the weak areas of your painting or drawing. With her extensive experience in both pencil drawing and painting in portraiture, landscape, figurative, and still life subjects, Sarah provides thoughtful, detailed critiques for the young or less experienced artist.Critiques are included in the very low-priced monthly membership to “Drawing Secrets Revealed” online drawing course, which you can purchase by going to the home page and clicking on the PayPal button. But for those who are not quite ready to make a monthly commitment, critiques are available to you, too! You can purchase one of these as often as you like. Just click one of the PayPal buttons below and you will be contacted by Sarah herself to arrange your critique. You will need to have a clear digital image of your critiqued drawing to email to Sarah and, if possible, a digital image of the composition you worked from.
Email Critique - You will email Sarah your image(s) and she will respond with a detailed written critique highlighting the strengths of your drawing or painting and the weakness, as well as how specifically to improve. $20
