Start by creating two complete portraits step by step, even if you’re a beginner.

You’ll use the grid method as a starting tool to simplify proportions and train your eye to observe accurately.

Then, later in the course, you’ll also learn how to draw portraits without the grid, so you can progressively become fully independent.

This approach gives you fast, motivating results while building strong fundamentals from the very beginning.

After completing your first portraits, you’ll go deeper by studying each facial feature in detail — this time without using the grid.

You’ll learn how to draw:

• Eyes (front, profile, 3/4 view, closed)

• Nose (different angles and variations)

• Mouth (neutral, smiling, open)

• Hair (short, long, straight, wavy)

• Ears (front and profile)

This step helps you understand how each element works, so you can draw them more naturally and accurately.

Learn how to construct a face using the Loomis method, a powerful system to place features correctly.

The method is first fully broken down and explained step by step, so you clearly understand how it works before applying it.

You’ll then practice drawing faces:

• From the front

• In profile

• In 3/4 view

So you can build portraits that are structured, accurate and realistic.

And finally, you'll work with an additionnal exercice to perfectly master this Loomis method

Take your skills further with more complex and realistic subjects.

You’ll learn how to handle:

• Detailed features like an elderly eye

• A portrait of a Black man

• Dense, textured and complex hair

These studies help you adapt your technique to different subjects and achieve more depth and realism.

Learn how to draw the human body starting from simple shapes, then refine your drawings into accurate forms.

You’ll discover how to:

• Draw the body in different positions

• Understand proportions using the 8-head system

• Handle perspective challenges like foreshortening

You’ll also focus on key areas:

• Hands

• Back

• Chest

So you can draw the human figure with confidence and control.

Put everything you’ve learned into practice with complete, guided drawings.

You’ll create:

• A detailed study of the David statue

• A full figure drawing of a woman from behind

These final projects will help you bring together all your skills and create strong, finished artworks.
