Description

My Quick Sketch Method has been updated. While my Drawing Nature Quick Sketch Flower Edition is still awesome, I've decided to modernize it and create a whole new updated course. It's the Method that has you sketching flowers in no time without spending ages on each drawing, even without experience, talent or if you've failed before! But why stop there? Why not enhance the pencil sketching techniques this course will teach you with skills like brush pens, alcohol markers, fineliners and discovering how to use the Quick Sketching Method in various projects, like greeting cards, framed artworks, sketches on canvas and more?Nature is such a big source of inspiration for artists. The beauty of creation is simply stunning! No wonder it brings such joy to be able to capture some of this beauty on paper! Accomplishing this task, however, can be somewhat intimidating. Depending on the level of your drawing skills, you’ll be facing different challenges.Drawing specific flowers (which someone else can actually recognize and identify!) is just way too hard. I don’t know where to start to make this happen. No matter how I try, it just never turns out right.I love drawing beautiful flowers, but I don’t do it as often as I would like, because it takes so many hours to get a nice result.Once I put my hand to paper to draw the lovely flowers I am closely observing, I get lost in the details. It seems like I’m trying so hard to make sure I capture all the dynamics and different elements involved, that I get ‘trapped’ somewhat along the way.My name is Benjamin Aeilkema and I’m an illustrator and Artist from The Netherlands. I love creating Artworks with all kinds of materials. As many, many other artists, I also find great joy in capturing the beauty of nature in artworks. There is just something very special about this! But I can also identify with the challenges and struggles many people have shared with me over the past few years. These very same issues I’ve been dealing with in my own works. It can be really frustrating to get stuck along the way and not know how to proceed, or how to improve the way you’re go about things.Nevertheless, I somehow was convinced that I could discover the right techniques to conquer these challenges. You might be surprised to hear that the key I found has everything to do with the way we go about STARTING a flower drawing. The key is in the way you observe the flowers and what parts you really need to focus on in your drawing. Just as important is understanding which unnecessary, time consuming details you need to eliminate from your work process.In my quest for a very successful Quick Sketch Method, I discovered we all have the tendency towards focusing on the wrong details, in the wrong order. This makes drawing so much harder than it needs to be. It takes away from the joy and pleasure we can all find in drawing flowers, no matter what your current skill level might be. In this Art Class you will discover the key to wonderful Quick Sketching - a transformation of your thinking pattern in where to start and where to end. You will be delivered from getting lost in the details and find a new revolutionizing workflow. So are you ready to unlock your capacity to do amazing Quick Sketches?Discover how to capture what you observe quickly. So you can still draw something convincing without it having to take hours from your precious time.
