Course of The Day: Drawing Anatomy and Figures For Beginners

Start with a stick figure. Finish with a newfound ease in the art of drawing.

This Udemy course stands out from the rest, because of how comprehensive it is.

• It has over 25 hours of on-demand video.
• The instructor emphasizes that it’s no quick “shortcut”.
• One of the first lectures begins with stick figures.

So, if you’re serious about improving your drawing skills, this is the course for you.

Because there’s an abundance of online courses out there, many leave a lot to desire. Here at Learning Where, we try to take the guess work out of the process of choosing courses. And this course in particular caught my eye, because of how complete it is. After viewing many, many courses, this is one of the few ones with over 20 hours of video content.

In addition to offering endless content, the quality of it seems to be great. The preview lectures offer a glimpse at the teaching dynamic. And, it’s a very step-by-step process, as well as intuitive.

One of the promises the course makes, in addition to teaching basics, is that you will learn to draw from memory (without using a reference). No more looking at a picture as you draw! The instructor believes that relying on images can do more harm than good. So he wants you to understand all about figures, instead. And maybe you will use a picture from time to time, but the important concepts will reside in your head.

Do I need special software for this class?

Another good point about this course is that you don’t need any special software! According to the course page, all you need is pen and paper.
