What will I learn?
You will learn how to select and use charcoal materials correctly, set up your workspace, and control mark-making from your very first stroke. The course covers value scales, tonal shading, and blending techniques that bring three-dimensional form to life on paper. You will apply perspective systems to compose believable spaces and use atmospheric depth to add realism to landscapes and still lifes. Portrait and figure drawing modules teach anatomical accuracy, proportional systems, and tonal modelling of the human form. By the final chapters, you will explore subtractive drawing, mixed media, and personal style development to produce a cohesive body of work.
