Description
Do you struggle to draw people? Or anything else? Let me reveal you a little secret – it is not because you can’t draw, it’s because you think you can’t. Drawing is not so much about talent but about practice. And for you to be willing to continue practice, you need to feel successful at what you are doing. That’s how the human brain function.The first step to free yourself from that limiting belief is to start drawing something that is not as demanding as a human, yet something that will leave you feeling satisfied and accomplished. Trees are perfect for that.In this class I will show you some simple techniques to how to approach drawing trees. You will learn what different types of lines do, how to create the illusion of depth, how to draw leaves without drawing every single leaf at the time and much more.But also, I will guide you to how you can enjoy the process and change your mindset to actually be looking for making mistakes. By changing your perception of what a so called “mistake” is, you will be free to draw without fear.Even though this exercise will free you from your fear of drawing it will teach you how to draw some pretty nice trees that you can frame and hang on your wall.And we are going to have some fun.
