ART/VIDEOS – What The Drawing Fundamentals Are

“You should practice the fundamentals in order to get better,” is common advice given to people who want to improve their drawings.  It’s great advice.  It’s something everyone should do.

The problem isn’t practicing the fundamentals, the problem is, not knowing what the fundamentals are.  After being given the advice, you sit there wondering, “what are the drawing fundamentals?” You can’t study them if you don’t know what they are.

I decided to remedy this problem by making this video.  It should not only answer what the fundamentals are, but also what each fundamental is and why it’s important to learn.
