Start your journey today

Anyone can learn to draw. it's not some magical talent a few people are born with. it's a skill you can train. we can help..

Drawabox is a set of free exercise-based lessons that focus on the fundamentals - the skills you'll need to make sense of all the other resources and tutorials out there. First we focus on the basic mechanics of mark making, and how to use your arm. By the end, we develop a strong understanding of form, 3D space and construction.

I won't lie to you - our approach is tough and involves a lot of hard work. It's also structured and gives you a clear path with concise explanations and assignments you can complete and submit for review.

You can read more about Drawabox and how it came about here .

Or you can join the community of thousands of beginners and professionals alike and get started .

Once you've completed a lesson, one of the best ways to refine your understanding of that material is to help others by critiquing their work. After having done thousands of critiques and having improved immensely over the last few years, I can attest to that myself.

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.

Part One: The Basics

An overview of basic skills - both technical and conceptual - with exercises that you will incorporate into your regular warmups for a long time to come. no matter how skilled or experienced you are, start at lesson 0..

Challenges and Drills

A series of drills that fit into the lessons at various times. these should not all be completed after lesson 2, but rather will be listed as recommended next steps or prerequisites as you follow the numbered lessons in order..

Part Two: Constructional Drawing

An exploration of how complex objects can be broken down into their fundamental components, then rebuilt from simple forms. we look at this concept of constructional drawing by applying it to many different topics - the focus is not on learning how to draw that specific subject matter, but rather to tackle construction from different perspectives..

• Free Youtube tutorials. Paid Video Courses and Books
• Specialty: Painting, light and color.

James Gurney is a professional artist, most known as the author and illustrator of the Dinotopia series. He is also an excellent teacher, with some incredible videos, books and online courses available.

His “how-to” art books, in particular, are an excellent resource to own. I have both his Color & Light and Imaginative Realism books and continually reference them. They are incredibly informative and a pleasure to the eyes. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned artist, I highly recommend them!

His Youtube channel is a fantastic free resource with detailed how-to guides as you follow him as he paints his latest piece. His online tutorials are easy to follow and informative. His explanations behind why he does what he does give you some amazing insights to improve your own drawing process. He has a gift of finding the magic and beauty in the ordinary. If you are like me, it won’t be long till you have his videos playing in the background as you create your own masterpieces.

James also has a website and blog which has its own hidden gems for fellow art geeks. If you like his Youtube videos, he has some courses on Gumroad which go into a ton more detail. I’ve bought a couple myself, and they are excellent.

5. Scott Robertson

• Free & Paid
• Recommended (His books are my go-to to learn how to draw and render)
• Specialty: Industrial design, perspective, rendering & 3D composition

Scott Robertson is a concept artist well known for his transportation design work. If you are interested in industrial design, Scott’s books are amazing, and his Youtube channel is brilliant.

In his videos he goes through how he draws, not shying away from subtle fundamentals such as line weight, perspective and developing your free hand drawing skills.

If you are struggling with drawing vehicles, buildings, or robots, then this is the perfect resource for you.

His books and  Gumroad Tutorials are a go-to resource for anyone wanting to master realistic drawing and design. His How to Draw book , is a must for any artist!

6. Draw A Box

• Perfect For: Beginners
• Recommended
• Specialty: Learn how to draw the basics of form, dynamic and constructive drawing, and the human figure.

Run by artist Irshad Karim, Draw A Box’s humble beginning was as a subreddit where artists could complete lessons and partake in challenges to further their skills.

The Draw A Box website takes it a step further with in-depth step-by-step lessons, complete with easy to follow videos on Youtube, exercises and homework assignments.

Personally,  I love the attention to detail . Irshad is obviously passionate about drawing and it shows in the amount of effort put into this free drawing resource.

Combined with  a great community on Reddit , beginners can feel comfortable sharing their work and getting constructive feedback from the community. This is the perfect place to start if you want to learn how to draw.

7. Jake Parker

• Perfect For: Beginners, Intermediate
• Free Youtube Tutorials. Paid Course Subscription
• Speciality: Inking, Drawing Fundamentals, Art Motivation

Jake Parker is the creator of Inktober , a children’s book illustrator, comic book author, and all round nice guy.

His Youtube channel covers everything from how to ink and tips to improve your drawings to career advice and promoting yourself on social media. He gives great advice and is not afraid to have a laugh. His step by step drawing lessons are fun, informative and simple to follow. I also just love geeking over his inking styles.

If you are interested in getting into Illustration, I highly recommend you check out his site SVS Learn, where he has paired up with other art industry leaders to provide some incredible online tutorials. These tutorials cover everything from the fundamentals of art and storytelling in art, to career advice and selling your work online.

The SVS Learn community is also incredibly friendly and great for anyone who is looking to hang out with some very talented artists.

8. Sycra Art Videos (Youtube)

• Free Videos
• Specialty: Drawing basics, light & shadows, case studies and speed painting.

Sycra has created a huge variety of content that is great for those new to drawing. His videos are very personal as he walks you through the different processes as he draws.

His  Youtube tutorial videos often highlight common issues when drawing and how he overcomes it. Many of his videos feel like an over the shoulder classroom as he takes you through different drawing processes.

9. Art Of Wei (Youtube)

• Specialty: Drawing specific characters, celebrities, objects and animals.

Wei has put together an awesome collection of simple, easy to follow videos as he draws people , objects and animals in real-time. Whether you want to learn how to draw eyes or want to draw realistic movie characters, he provides plenty of easy examples while talking you through the process the whole way. His portrait videos are excellent examples of how to draw realistic sketches from reference.

In each video, Wei talks about the importance of reference marks for accuracy and shading to bring out the forms.

10. Anthony Jones (Robot Pencil Design)

• Specialty: Digital painting & workflow in Photoshop

Anthony provides a great set of Youtube videos on digital painting and concept art workflow in Photoshop.

His videos are sprinkled with some excellent tips that will take your drawing to the next level. He also has some good videos on drawing practice and studying to get better results.

11. Gnomon Workshop

• Perfect For: Intermediate, Advanced
• Specialty: Drawing, sculpting, painting, 3D modeling, animation, composition & more.

They have a huge library of over 300 titles covering multiple art subjects and techniques. They cover everything from design, drawing, oil painting , as well as 3D modeling, texturing and animation.

When I first discovered Gnomon Workshop you would order a course online and they would mail out a DVD set. Things have changed since then! To access all of their content, you can now pay a monthly subscription fee, or you can pay yearly a cheaper price.

Some of the online training can be a little bit overwhelming for beginners, however, for people who are looking to take their skills to the next level, then Gnomon Workshop is awesome.

12. Ctrl + Paint

• Specialty: Drawing composition, using digital tools, art theory, and mindsets.

Matt Kohr has created a well-organized library of hundreds of professional video tutorials. Matt is personable as he clearly explains different digital drawing techniques. If you are a beginner looking to buy a drawing tablet , then Matt’s tutorials are a great start. This is my favorite resource if you want to learn how to draw digitally.

Each video provides clear step by step instructions, common mistakes, and easy homework assignments that challenge and helps you grow. He covers everything from the fundamentals and using them to drawing realistic and believable environments, characters and vehicles.

13. Draw With Jazza (Youtube)

•  Specialty: Drawing fundamentals, cartoon and animation.

Jazza’s Youtube channel is full of fun, informative, and easy drawing tips. He doesn’t do many tutorials anymore, so check out his older videos for the best how to draw guides.

In each video, he breaks down each technique he uses, while also sharing different methods to ones he favors. He covers everything from traditional and digital drawing techniques to photoshop and flash tutorials. Whether you love using colored pencils, paint or a tablet, he has something for you.

His channel also includes competitions and some amazing interviews with other professional artists.

14. Mark Crilley (Youtube)

• Specialty: Anime, manga, chibi, and art fundamentals.

Does the thought of anime or manga make your heart beat a little bit faster?

Mark has created an excellent collection of videos to help you learn how to draw different manga and anime styles, but also improve your general pencil drawing skills.

Mark provides simple, easy drawing guides, sprinkled with excellent tips, as he walks you step-by-step through the many different facets of Japanese drawing styles.

I particularly love how he compares cartoon style to realism, to help you to figure out what might be missing in your composition.

And for those who don’t have a drawing tablet, Matt works mostly with pencil on paper.

15. LethalChris Drawing (Youtube)

• Specialty: Drawing specific characters, objects, and creatures.

Chris has put together some amazing videos walking you through the process of how he draws everything from anime characters and fantasy creatures to random and interesting objects.

He clearly explains what to do, how to do it, and also  why he is doing it (which I love!). A great example is his easy drawing tutorial on how to draw smoke:

This tutorial shows Chris’s thought process behind the drawing and how that adds up to the final result.

So, what did you think of these online drawing tutorials? Did you have any tutorials you always recommend to artists?

Did You Know Canva Works as a Quick Image File Converter? Here's How

This is the best free all-in-one ai generator i’ve used: here’s why, anyone can now try midjourney for free (no discord required).

Most of us wish to be born with two skills: to sing and play in tune, and to draw with ease. Unfortunately, most of us can only stare with envy as some of the gifted ones give their talents a bigger stage.

Lucky for us, technology can help. Even if you skip art school, you can always learn how to draw online.

So it’s never too late to dust off the years and take up lessons on how to draw. Think of the websites below as your free online drawing and art classes. Brush up on your skills, and get started!

1. Drawspace

Unique Feature: More than 500 classes for all levels.

You can learn how to draw and sketch with this one site. The person behind the site is Brenda Hoddinott. It’s not only the variety of things you can learn to draw or the well-supported discussion board that makes this site great, but it's also the user-friendly layout that lets you gradually build up your skills.

There are both free and paid classes, and enough free drawing tutorials (about 15 percent) to give you a running start.

You might like the high-quality downloadable PDF tutorials that are detailed with illustrations and steps. You can also view them online without a download. If you doubt your caliber as an artist, download and read the lesson titled Understanding Talent . To access the lessons in full, you need to register (free).

2. Drawing Coach

Unique Feature: Dive into the art of cartoons and caricatures.

As a child, you must have wanted to make your own comic strip. It takes a special kind of talent to combine cartoons with a sense of humor. You can't do without both. Drawing Coach has drawing tutorials of all types, but it leans more towards cartoons. It will teach you everything step-by-step—from drawing people to tracing tattoos.

The site is a singlehanded effort, but you won't have anything to complain about. The tutorials are light in theory but heavy on technique. If you like a bit of bedrock, look into the Drawing Techniques section.

3. Arty Factory

Unique Feature: A growing section on art appreciation you should study alongside.

This is a clean and free online resource for anyone who wants to learn how to draw, paint, and understand more about design too. Some of the illustrated step-by-step tutorials are one of a kind. You can learn how to design your own tribal masks. Or take pop-art lessons in the style of Chuck Close.

I spent some time on the aerial perspective lesson and even tried my hand at it. Try it yourself; it's a simpler skill but leaves a beauteous impact.

4. Drawing Now

Unique Feature: Thousands of cartoons, manga, people, animals, and more easy lessons.

Drawing Now is a user-driven site that’s simple and not overwhelming for the beginner or the intermediate user. The tutorials are easy to follow. What makes them even better are the accompanying screencasts, along with the step-by-step instructions.

You can also create your own tutorials, thus teaching others how to draw. There's also a built-in tool that lets you draw online.

5. Daily Sketch Challenge

Unique Feature: The largest art community on the web.

If you've just taken up the paintbrush or the pencil, it will take you a while to reach Deviant Art. The best platform for sharing art can overwhelm you with images of what's possible when you have serious art skills. But you can take up the Daily Sketch Challenge anytime because it welcomes all skill levels.

The challenge was started in 2015. The instructions are simple—check the group's Journal every day for a new subject to draw (e.g. "Scary Godmother") and post your drawing of that subject each day. As the site says, it's all about the act of drawing each day as a habit.

6. Ctrl+Paint

Unique Feature: Bite-sized videos on digital drawing and painting.

Keep the sketchbook aside. It's time to pick up a stylus because this neat website is all about digital painting. The procession of videos is organized like a curriculum so you can learn complex subjects in small chunks. Each video is just five minutes long.

Related: The Best Drawing and Painting Apps for Android

Take a look at The Drawing Habit first. Then dive into the different topics. For instance, chapters two and three cover traditional drawing. The site notes that basic drawing doesn't seem as exciting as digital painting, so it's often skipped by beginners—don't make this mistake!

7. Pinterest

Unique Feature: Find and save drawing lessons on your own boards.

Type "drawing tutorials" in the Pinterest search bar and see how many results get displayed. Someone like artgirl67 has a board with 968 lessons on "How-to-Draw." That's just one drawing buff. Pinterest is a launchpad for more.

Pinterest is a visual smorgasbord. In 2021, the social site has more than 450 million active users a month. And as it is a conclave for creatives, you can expect to find links to drawing tutorials you can check out with a glance.

Unique Feature: Create your own playlist from an almost infinite catalog.

As great as text-based guides can be, one of the best ways to learn to draw is to watch someone else. And these fantastic channels on drawing skills are just the tip of the brush.

Use the power of auto-suggestions in the search box. For instance, "drawing lessons for beginners step by step" is a better keyphrase than just "drawing lessons". Even the former nets you nearly four million results.

9. Creative Bloq

Unique Feature: A regularly updated collection of basic drawing tutorials to follow.

On this art and design magazine site, you'll find a selection of drawing tutorials for beginners. These include videos and written guides that teach you how to draw a cat, a dog, a dragon, people, and more.

Creative Bloq is also a useful resource if you want to learn about the latest design software and news. There's also a jobs section if you feel like your skills are good enough to go pro.

Unique Feature: A comprehensive guide from the most popular design software maker in the world.

Adobe has a pretty good guide to drawing, especially for beginners. This guide includes the fundamentals of teaching yourself to draw, advice on what to draw, and loads of step-by-step tutorials.

As you work your way through, the guide links off to more guides. There's enough there to keep you going for quite some time, making it definitely worth checking out.

COMMENTS FROM OUR MEMBERS...

"Amazing Online Experience"

"This is without a doubt the most amazing online experience I have ever had. Matt is an excellent instructor and the videos are hands on, superbly paced, and perfectly executed. BRAVO !!!!" - Alexia

"Exactly What I Needed"

"Hi Matt, I wanted to send you a quick thank you email. I reached out to you a while back regarding art school and I want you to know how much the personal response/video you made for me helped and directed me. With your guidance on portfolios and self direction I was able to finish your Watercolor Workshop, Colored Pencil Course, and start on the Oil Painting Mastery course. I easily created over 30 pieces and took your advice on breaking off from the videos and created my own pieces. I put together a very strong portfolio and sent off my applications almost 3 months before my expected deadline and already got accepted. I applied to The School of the Arts Institute of Chicago and not only got accepted but received a full scholarship & some more. So I'll start in this upcoming Fall. When I wanted to develop my drawing and art skills your videos were exactly what helped me do so. Your positive and motivational advice and expertise was a blessing and I want to thank you for being the type of person that you are and supporting people's dreams and passions. Your courses provide such a strong base to work off of and develop skills, I plan on using them as reference for the years to come. Thanks again Matt." - Maurice

"First Rate"

"I'm compelled to let you know how impressed I am with your courses, not only as a new art and drawing student but as an individual with years of adult training experience. Your teaching mythology is just first rate. You tell them what they are going to be taught. You teach them. Finally, you tell them what they should have learned. Most of your video modules that range around 12 - 20 minutes, just right in my opinion. I find your voice cadence excellent. You should be very proud of your accomplishments as a teacher as well as your artistic talent." - Ron

"You've Changed My Life"  

"Hi, Matt. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you do for the art community, and especially for aspiring artists like me. I was one of those people who always said "I can't draw" and I never thought I could learn. Three years ago I decided to give it a try. I found your site and your lessons have been invaluable. Today I have oil paintings hanging in our library, a local bank, our community center, and in a gallery. I will be exhibiting my work in two shows coming up next month. Our home is now filled with drawings and paintings I've done, and I look around in amazement to see what I've created. I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you again, Matt. You've truly changed my life." - Judith

"A Big Thank You"  

"Hey Matt used this video today in my 2nd year art class, with ultimate lesson plan resources. OMG what a class it was!! What a joy it was to be able to give each student one on one while your videos clearly, concisely, eloquently and expertly explained the concepts. As a sculptor/crafter it’s great to stand on your shoulders for the art areas that aren’t my speciality. That’s a big thank you from Ireland!! You da’ man." - Naill

Discover the satisfaction of rendering a true likeness on paper in these free online art classes. Our tutor, Ethan Moran, is a professional portrait artist who acquired skills and knowledge as he honed his craft over the years. He shares his expertise through short, easy-to-follow video lessons that include fascinating speed-drawings. A craftsman is only as good as their materials and so Ethan begins the course by illustrating the merits of different types of pencil with varying specific gripping methods. He then examines types of sharpeners, erasers and that all-important paper.

The course then switches focus to drawing techniques, beginning with lines and outlines. Ethan covers some of the established principles of fine art, including proportion, perspective and creating depth. He teaches a range of methods for achieving the correct proportions, such as the ‘square’ and ‘triangular grid’ techniques. A key aspect of drawing for a realistic effect is creating a sense of depth and we examine light sources and the shadows they make as one of the tools at the artist’s disposal. Ethan also covers the rules of perspective: objects that are nearer should appear bigger and lighter than those that are further away. The course covers various shading techniques, from hatching through to the dusty beauty of graphite before moving on to blending techniques. The final module teaches you how to draw the human face and Ethan covers this topic feature by feature. He explains how to get the best results when drawing eyes, lips, noses and finally hair, using speed-drawing videos to demonstrate his methods as they become yours too.

Ethan’s free art lessons provide an easy and engaging place to start for anyone who wants to learn how to draw realistically. You don’t require any prior knowledge or even latent talent to benefit from the course as drawing is a skill that can be learnt. Ethan is based in Galway and has been drawing portraits since the age of 13. He divides his time between his art and teaching children to draw and paint through a youth organisation. His passion for sharing his love of drawing is matched by his belief that others can master these skills and become better artists than they imagine - and more quickly than they might believe possible. We can help you discover how relaxing, absorbing and rewarding drawing can be as you learn how to capture life on paper. This course suits anyone looking for some expert help and a creative outlet.

This is a game built with machine learning. You draw, and a neural network tries to guess what you’re drawing. Of course, it doesn’t always work. But the more you play with it, the more it will learn. So far we have trained it on a few hundred concepts, and we hope to add more over time. We made this as an example of how you can use machine learning in fun ways. Watch the video below to learn about how it works, and
