To draw well, you need to develop five interconnected skills that cover how you see and how you mark the page.

• Line and contour: mastering line quality means controlling weight, flow and direction with confidence.
• Shape and proportion: seeing shapes first keeps your drawing accurate and saves you from erasing later.
• Tone and shading: adding light and dark values gives your drawing depth and a three-dimensional feel.
• Perspective: perspective lets you show depth on a flat surface, making objects appear closer or farther away.
• Composition: a strong composition turns a collection of objects into a unified piece of art.

One-on-one lessons let you focus on the skills that matter most for your personal goals, whether that's portraiture, landscapes or illustration.
