MASTERING REALISM IN GRAPHITE AND CHARCOAL
I am the result of everything I have learned, and you are too. Some see my works and think I'm talented. Others think I have practiced for thousands of hours. In "Mastering Realism in Graphite and Charcoal", I get to prove to you that my prowess in creating realistic drawings isn't talent or decades of practice. In fact, I have only been drawing for three years and two months as at June 2023, and I was inconsistent for the first two years. The thing is, I am a stringent student. I learn, A LOT. My journey has been plagued with several hours of intense reading of books, watching of videos, and performing informed experiments.
"THIS COURSE WILL SAVE YOU YEARS OF PRACTICE, BY SHOWING YOU HOW TO PRACTICE."
In fact, your trial and error journey will be as short as this course. Big promise but I mean it.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DRAWING IN THE COURSE
Mastering Realism in Graphite and Charcoal is a real-time course with real-time explanations.
This means that you will be able to not only follow along, but also understand exactly what is taking place.
