Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, daily sketching can help you improve your drawing abilities. Start your journey today.

In this online gesture drawing course, Issao Bazolli, a talented illustrator specializing in structural drawing, will guide you on an exciting journey of artistic exploration. Through different techniques and materials, you will learn how to portray people, animals and botany in a unique and authentic way. With Issao's teaching, you will discover two key approaches: the academic system, which associates what you want to draw with simple shapes, and the more free and intuitive pictorial approach, based on color, light and shadow.

Not only will you learn to capture rich subtleties through gestural sketching, but you will also develop observation and fluency by sketching without worrying about the finish. Throughout the lessons, you will delve into specific studies to perfect portraits, human bodies, animals and botanical elements. In addition, Issao will share his expertise in using charcoal and India ink to add a special touch to your illustrations.
