Learn to draw and paint

14--18 minutes

Play with child-like wonder

Do what pleases you from time to time, and draw what you like. Practice composition, new techniques, and new mediums. Explore what you learn with personal projects.

Observe like a painter

Sculpt your images. Practice shape design (painting, expressive pencil drawing). Watch and listen to Marco Bucci and Sinix to elarn more.

Think like a draftsman

Balance the rest by studying hard principles to elevate your creative exploration. Watch and listen to Scott Robertson, Feng Zhu, and Kim Jung Gi to elarn more.

The curriculum is based on the struture of Marc Brunet's "ARTSchool", so if you like it you may want to check out his own course.\ Overall however, the Solo Artist curriculum has a much higher emphasis on

Perspective and Draftsmanship

You may find the subject material front unit to unit seemingly random. This is by design - so that you don't go mad driling perspective for 2 months at a time.

If you want to swap a unit or term around feel free to do so. This is merely a guide for a structural approach to self-teaching.

The intended purpose is to balance a foundation of technical perspective and creative learning, so that you may learn to draw anything from imagination.

2 years and 3 months

is how long you should expect to stick with the Solo Artis curriculum

9 terms in total

3 units per term

4 weeks per unit

Feel free to divide this curriculum to take however long you'd wish. I've planned it this way to provide a tangible structure for how long to stay on each unit before moving on.

I might switch out the Proko stuff at the beginning and go through Michael Hampton's Analytical Figure Drawing instead, though I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. Thoughts on going through Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching instead of Drawabox? When it comes to composition, another fantastic challenge that could be added is something like 30 days of composition studies from film grab and another for landscape/environment from map crunch.
