What Inspired You To Learn Drawing?
Do you dream of being able to draw anything you want, in a way that looks realistic, beautiful and brings across you unique vision?
Do you want to experience the freedom of being so skilled at drawing, you can sketch anything and make it look believable?
Do you crave to finally draw with great technique, learn how to shade, and just "get it right"?
Would you love to create your own images, and "think like an artist"?
If these questions connect with you, then you are in the right place.
Hi I'm Felix,
...and I want to help you finally get the drawing skills you've always dreamed of!
I've been drawing since many years, and am passionate about helping others learn drawing faster than me.
I believe anyone can learn how to draw well, with the right information at hand.
Sadly, many drawing students disconnect from their initial inspiration once they pick up a pencil, get overwhelmed, bored by their lack of progress, and eventually... quit.
Does Drawing Feel Like an Unobtainable Skill to You?
Let me share my story with you, maybe you can relate.
For many years I struggled figuring out how to get better at drawing.
I'd find one method of drawing and focus exclusively on it, only to realize months or years later that drawing that one way felt limiting.
❌ I had a long phase of just measuring angles, matching values, and "copying" what I saw exactly. At first I got excited when my drawing finally looked realistic. But then I realized being a human copier machine isn't what got me into drawing in the first place.
❌ I had another phase studying anatomy in detail. I'd learn about muscle insertions, how they connect, function and so on. At first I got excited as my figures looked more "put together". But they also looked too muscular and "anatomical". I could draw anatomy studies, but struggled to use anatomy to make my drawings better.
❌ Then I had a phase of focusing on gesture drawing. I studied animation drawings and again got excited. My drawings were becoming more dynamic and flowy! But somehow my accuracy, my anatomy knowledge and everything else became worse. I didn't just want to draw gestural sketches. Again I was stuck.
❌ Then I'd learn about form and perspective. I'd try and make my drawings look more boxy and solid...And while I learned to draw boxy mannequins, I still was at a loss how to use form to make better drawings.
Being close to giving drawing up forever, I decided to make a crucial decision.
To read every drawing book, attend any seminar, and take any online course by pros I admired, until I finally "get" drawing.
And that's what I did.
I learned from a wide range of teachers from very different schools of thought.
From sight-size drawers, animators, illustrators, painters... Anyone who could draw in a way that inspired me I learned from. Each one had subtle differences in their approach to drawing.
And piece by piece the "big picture" of drawing started to become clear to me.
Leading up to this big realization:
Drawing is made up of a few fundamental skills.
The two biggest reasons beginners struggle to learn drawing are:
1) They don't know what those fundamental skills are, and stay unaware of most of them.
2) They don't understand how to to balance the fundamental skills while drawing.
Just like me, they method-hop, never getting closer to what inspired them to start drawing in the first place:
Drawing freely with realism, beauty and consistency.
On the flip side, the surest way for beginners to avoid that trap, and the fastest way for them to become great at drawing is by building a solid skill base in the drawing fundamentals.”
Once I realized this something magical started to happen:
Suddenly I could SEE which fundamental was holding my drawing back.
I KNEW how to improve that fundamental drawing skill using targeted exercises.
And once I improved at it, I understood how to BALANCE the newly improved fundamentals skills in my overall drawing process.
The result:
While in the past I often got worse from drawing to drawing, now, each drawing I made was significantly better than the last.
And this didn't just happen once, it happened consistently.
Let me be clear:
It takes practice to get better at drawing. That will never change.
But it's way more fun, enjoyable and motivating, when you make significant improvements you can see and feel with every single drawing you make.
That's when you realize: "If I just put in a bit more time, I can be better than I ever thought possible, in a matter of weeks or months, not years".
Think about it. If you CANNOT:
1) SEE which fundamental is holding your drawing back the most,
2) KNOW how to improve that fundamental through specific exercises, and
3) Understand how to BALANCE your strengthened skill in an overall process
and wash rinse repeat the process with every drawing you do...
..then how can you expect anything other than stagnating drawing skills?
Well, here's the GOOD NEWS:
If you understand the drawing fundamentals you can use this process to your advantage, and make big skills jumps with every single drawing you create.
