Get The Skills to Draw Realistic, Beautifully Designed Figures & Portraits.

Do you want to become great at drawing realistic figures and portraits that express your unique sense of design, but struggle to get better?

You are not alone! I struggled to improve my drawing skills for many years, feeling overwhelmed and confused.

Luckily, after studying hundreds of drawing books, courses, attending seminars by pros in the field and practicing lots, I reached a skill level I’m happy with, and continue to improve on with every single drawing I make.

In hindsight, the number 1 reason I wasted years of drawing progress (and most drawing students make the same mistake) is:

Not knowing how to practice the drawing fundamentals effectively.

You Arrived At The Right Place!

Hi there, I’m Felix, I love to draw and I’m glad to have you on the site!

As mentioned, it took me many years to finally figure out how to consistently improve my drawing skills, and get to a level I’m happy with (check my full story here).

Having felt that frustration and knowing it doesn’t have to be that way, I decided to start a blog so others could learn from my mistakes, which turned into this site with thousands of readers per month.

How To Practice Drawing focuses on 4 keys to help you get better at drawing:

4 Keys to Improve At Drawing

Faster Than You Thought Possible

1. Focus on Fundamentals

Getting a solid understanding of all (not just some) drawing fundamentals is critical for long-term progress. Missing even one is like refusing to learn the past tense when learning a foreign language. You’ll hit a wall at some point in what you can express.
2. Multi-Sensory Approach

You need to practice seeing, thinking, hand-eye coordination (mark making), and material mastery, not just one of them. I call this a “Multi-Sensory Approach”. Most drawing beginners miss one or more of these, limiting their progress for years.
3. Drawing from Life, Photos & Masters

Drawing from life, photos and from master paintings (and imagination depending on your goal) is key. Each one teaches you invaluable lessons that make you better at the others. If you miss one, you miss out on progress.
4. Education

Invest in your drawing education. Books, courses, coaching… the more perspectives you can get by a range of great teachers, the better. Seek out those that draw like you want to draw and learn from them.
