The basics of the art of drawing... through the theory of measurements and angles

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 38.27 C$ /h

I was talking to a colleague of mine and we were working as art teachers and she asked me, “Doesn’t it happen to you sometimes that you draw something and you can’t make a resemblance between it and your drawing?” I answered her with utmost confidence, “Of course not, the amateur artist is the one who makes mistakes once and gets it right the other time, while the professional can make a resemblance every time he draws.” It was clear on her face that she didn’t like my answer… What made me confident in myself to say these words, and before that the words were actually able to achieve them, is my practice of the theory of measurements and angles, to which I attribute the credit, after God, for making me a professional.

Now, what if I told you that someone had a talent for drawing and turned it into a set of steps that you could understand and implement? Do you know what that means? It means that anyone can draw, not just the talented. Let me explain in more detail. The theory of measurements and angles is a theory whose mission is to analyze the mental processes that take place in the artist’s mind, which enable him to draw, and turn them into steps. This means that this theory can make you draw even if you do not have any talent... Yes, as you read, this theory consists of three rules that anyone can understand and then make the necessary effort to apply what they understand. As a result, their well-deserved reward will be to have the ability to draw anything, even if they originally lack talent, so what if you have the talent and just want to hone it?

However, it is important to note that this theory is not suitable for someone looking for an easy or quick method that relies on some tricks. Rather, it was designed to help people who are willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve their desired goal, which is to build a solid skill for a professional person who is confident that every time he wants to draw something, he will succeed in doing so.

Important note: This course consists of seven lectures and the total course time is one hour and twenty-four minutes.

Important note: I will send the links to the video lessons to the student. After the student finishes watching and applying, he will send his drawing to me. I will make a video of critique and correction, and then send the video to him.

Extra information

Course topics:

This course contains explanations of a powerful and effective theory called the theory of (measurements and angles). This theory will teach the student how to draw any element he wants to draw. The course consists of two parts:

In the first part, you will learn how to draw a simple geometric shape to easily understand the principles of the theory. This part will be explained in one video.

In the second part, we will develop the explanation of the theory and take it to a higher level, where you will learn how to draw an organic shape, which is a pear. After you finish drawing it, you will learn how to shade it properly. This part will be explained through six videos.

Required tools:

Pencils (H, B, 2B)
eraser
Canson or Febriano paper (300 grams)... or the student's preferred type of paper

Learn to draw the four facial features: eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

22.96 C$ /h

Imagine yourself holding a pencil or paintbrush, sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper, ready to explore the world of art and realize your creativity by correctly drawing the four facial features. If you aspire to become a skilled face artist, this engaging tutorial is exactly what you need.

This course is specifically designed for those who want to acquire the basic skills for drawing facial features professionally. You will discover the magic of art and learn the essential fundamentals for drawing and rendering eyes, noses, mouths, and ears with precision and artistic flair. This educational journey will be an exciting exploration of fine details and advanced techniques that will help you achieve stunning drawings.

Objectives:

- Acquire the skills necessary to draw the four facial features correctly and professionally.
- Understand the details of the structure and anatomy of the eye, nose, mouth and ear.
- Developing the ability to focus and observe details accurately in drawing the face.
- Ability to use appropriate techniques for light, shadows, and hollows in the face.
- Achieving balance and harmony in drawing facial features and maintaining correct proportions.

Axes:

The educational course in your hands is 59 minutes long and divided into 12 lessons as follows:

In the first lesson, we will quickly review the parts that make up the eye. You will also learn how and where to place the eye in its appropriate place in the facial space. You will also learn about the relationship between the eyelid and the eye and how to draw the eyelid correctly and in a three-dimensional manner.
In the second lesson, we will review the parts of the eye in detail, or more precisely, a detailed explanation of the anatomy of the eye. You will also learn how to form the eyebrows and eyelashes correctly.
In the third lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw an eye correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.
In the fourth lesson, we will begin explaining the nose. You will learn how to place the nose in a cube shape and what the purpose behind that is. You will also learn how the shape of the nose changes with the movement of the human head and the angle from which we view the nose.
In the fifth lesson, you will learn in detail how to dissect the nose and the parts that make it up. The importance of this is that your knowledge of anatomy strengthens your vision and perception of details that actually exist and almost protrude from under the skin.
In Lesson 6, you will learn how to divide the nose into small surfaces. This is because the nose is a complex shape, and it is important to train your eyes to simplify the shape of the nose while drawing it.
In the seventh lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw a nose correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.
In Lesson 8, you will learn how to build the basic shapes of the mouth. You will also learn anatomically what muscles form the mouth area and help us control lip movement.
In Lesson 9, you will learn what parts make up the mouth from the outside and the area surrounding it. You will also learn how to see the roundness of the mouth, the overlapping lines of the lips, and many other details.
In the tenth lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw a mouth correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details stage.
In the eleventh lesson, you will learn all the details related to the ear, such as its relationship to the head from all directions and the parts that make up the ear. You will also learn a nice trick to simplify the internal details of the ear, which many artists consider complex and difficult. You will also learn the relationship of light and shadow to these details so that they are easy to draw.
In the twelfth and final lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw the ear correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.

I am waiting for you with great enthusiasm so that we can start this enjoyable educational journey together.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

THE TRAINER
From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Do you want to create manga seriously but don't know where to start?

In this course we will work in depth on the 5 fundamental pillars of manga:
. Characters
Setting
. Plot
. Issue
. Drawing

The classes are designed for beginners and intermediate students who really want to improve, but don't know where to start or need a solid foundation.

Each class contains a theoretical part that will then be put into practice through exercises and development of ideas, in order to better internalize the concepts and learn to apply them correctly.

This course focuses primarily on the first four pillars and not so much on isolated technical drawing. The goal is to understand how a manga functions as a complete work and how to make all its elements work together.

At the end of the course, all the knowledge learned will be combined to create your own short manga or one-shot.

In this session we will:
A level assessment
We'll talk about your goals
We will organize a learning plan tailored to you.

Let me show you how creative you already are! In this class we will explore creativity through engaging exercises, imagination challenges, games, storytelling, observation, and experimentation. The goal isn’t to become an artist – it’s to strengthen curiosity, confidence, flexible thinking, and the ability to generate new ideas.

Suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, these sessions are adapted to each person’s age, interests, and goals. Whether you’re looking to nurture a child’s imagination, reconnect with your own creativity, or simply try something new, you’ll find a supportive space to explore without pressure or judgment.

Together we can explore:

Different techniques:
line drawing, gouache, oil painting, collage, ink, watercolor, stop-motion...

Different concepts:
