The online drawing course for beginners and returners

Drawing and painting are wonderful hobbies; anyone can start it easily and it’s a lot of fun.

Bad in art class?

I get a lot of feedback from those who thought they didn’t know what they were doing in art class. Thanks to my page they would now get better grades. Since I’m very happy that the page helps you so much and waiting anxiously for plenty of feedback to improve the page even further.

I am a beginner/returner and would like to learn to draw

There are many students or even people who are firmly in professional life, or are already pensioners, who are interested in learning to draw. From them I often get feedback that the site has given them courage to just start and the forum finally gave them the necessary assistance to improve.

As a teacher I would like to use parts of the site in the classroom

Occasionally I get requests from teachers of various types of schools, they would like to use some content (images, texts) of my site for their art lessons. I am always happy about this feedback, because it shows me that the site helps people. By the way, teachers are very welcome to use the contents of this page for art lessons.

About me, about this site

Everything was created or compiled by me as a single private person to share my experience and knowledge around drawing and designing free of charge.

This page reflects my personal wealth of experience in drawing and is therefore in no way conclusive, nor infallible. If you want to learn something about bone structure and muscle structure, you can educate yourself with suitable books or courses.

In addition, I have specialized in drawing pictures completely from my head (i.e. without templates). Accordingly, the tutorials and sample images. Only little by little I will add my newly gained knowledge regarding the drawing of photo templates to this page. If you want to see my current state right now, you can also follow my drawing development in my German blog. 😉

Learn to draw with zeichnen-lernen.net

The instructions of my page I have deliberately kept simple and perhaps also for the more experienced draftsman “naive”, but this has a good reason.

Because I find, one can recognize simpler drawings or lines better and interpret easier. Of course, there are also art sites that prefer to show the completely worked out finished picture with all shades, but I think with it can rather advanced what to do and the inexperienced draftsmen can be impressed with it well.

But go once in you, as a drawing beginner, and think about which tutorial you would rather take the pencil in hand to draw it?

A forum member once said to me “If your drawings had been so perfect, I would not have dared to start painting”. And this member, in a very short time, with a lot of practice and even more ambition, has improved so much that I can hardly distinguish the images from photographs.

But not everyone has the goal to become a master artist, and let’s face it; not everyone has the time, ambition and patience to train themselves to be so perfect. But in any case, it should not fail at the beginnings!

In addition, a forum has long belonged to this site, in which there are many like-minded people who share about their hobby, give each other tips and help and write honest and constructive criticism of their pictures. The forum is not only a platform to exchange ideas, it is also a pool of ideas where you can get inspiration for your pictures and a drawing community where we often realize joint projects (for example, a joint comic, an art magazine or an annual calendar).

We are happy about every new member and welcome you to the forum. Whether to browse or to join in.
