Learn How to Draw Anything By Eye
Drawing Workshop
Most of us can write a letter. We understand language patterns and have the hand-eye co-ordination to put our thoughts down on paper. And yet most of us can't draw realistically.
In this video workshop, I'll show you why that is and give you three techniques that all skilled artists have learned to use (knowingly or otherwise)...
Drawing Essentials
If you want to become a "naturally gifted" artist, learn how to observe. Learn how to see shapes, relationships and values (lights and darks).
That's what you'll do in this 8-week course designed to take you from complete newcomer to a confident artist capable of drawing most subjects with realistic proportion, shape and depth!

Hi There, I'm Phil Davies
I'm also the guy you'll have to put up with should you decide to join any of the courses here at Draw Awesome!
You might know me from another art-based website called ArtTutor (how many art websites does one person need?!) but more likely, you don't know from Adam. So here's my life story a bit about my background...
At school, I was considered quite good at art because I could shade things realistically. However, I was no better than anyone else at drawing from observation. I had to trace or use the grid method and I never used anything other than pencils.
About 12 years ago, I taught myself to draw by eye after a lot of studying and research. I've now been lucky enough to teach this to over 30,000 students.
Anyway, enough about me! If you want to see some of my art and whether my styles appeal, take a look at my Instagram page here:
