Learning to draw isn't a matter of talent. It's a matter of method.

63 lessons broken into 189 steps. Every single step has its own plate: not an inspirational image, but a drawing of what that step is asking you to do.

Instructional plate: constructing the hand, the palm as a square and the fingers three quarters the height of the palm — **Hands and feet · step 1 of 3** “The palm is a square; the fingers are 3/4 of the palm.” — and the plate draws exactly that ratio.

The method

Every step has its own plate. All 189 of them.

Most courses show you the finished result. Here you see the construction: the guide lines, the volumes underneath, the relationship between the parts. These plates are made for the exact step you are reading.

Five tones of grey and a sphere rendered with those same values — Light and shadow · 2
**5 tones.** White, light grey, mid, dark, black.

One-point perspective: horizon, vanishing point and a box built on the converging lines — Perspective · 2
**Vanishing point.** Every parallel line converges there.

Anatomical study of the chest and shoulder muscles — Anatomy · 1
**Pectoral, deltoid, biceps.** The three of the upper chest.

Twelve-sector colour wheel with primaries, secondaries and tertiaries — Colour wheel · 3
**Tertiaries.** There is one between every primary and every secondary.

A fantasy creature built by merging two real animals, with the construction lines visible — Creatures · 1
**Combinations.** Take 2-3 real animals and merge them.

A narrow, dark interior that communicates claustrophobia — Dark interiors · 1
**Closed space.** Near walls, low ceiling: oppression is something you draw.

A sword broken down into its parts: blade, guard, grip, pommel — Weapons · 1
**The sword.** Blade, guard, grip, pommel: every part has a function.

Three trees compared by silhouette alone — Vegetation · 2

What you get

A path, not a pile of videos

A new exercise every day

Generated by combining subject, technique and duration: it doesn't repeat for years, and five minutes is enough when five minutes is all you have.

Unlocked as you go

Advanced lessons open once you have done the ones you need in order to understand them. You cannot jump to anatomy without having seen volumes.

Feedback on your drawings

You upload what you have drawn and get an analysis: what works, what doesn't, and an exercise aimed at that one thing.

A community that draws

A feed of real work, weekly challenges and themed ateliers. No leaderboard, no score to defend.
