This Specialization is intended for aspiring artists and creative beginners seeking to develop core drawing skills. Through three step-by-step courses, you will cover essential topics such as basic shapes, proportion, structure, and real-time drawing techniques—preparing you to sketch with clarity, confidence, and control.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will complete hands-on drawing projects that apply the full range of skills learned across the specialization. In Course 1, you’ll draw foundational shapes and simplified subjects. In Course 2, you’ll practice measuring, block-ins, and value to develop structured, lifelike drawings. In the final course, you’ll follow extended demonstrations of birds and botanicals from start to finish—experiencing the full drawing process in real time. These projects reinforce key concepts like composition, proportion, line, and shading, giving you the tools and confidence to draw a wide variety of subjects from observation.
