I will draw and shade a simple portrait from imagination, and you’ll see each step clearly, from A to Z, nothing skipped or glossed over.

Dorian’s skill as an artist stands out as almost super-human, but his skill as a teacher is every bit as sensitive and thoughtful as his art. He devotes himself to making learning easy for his students. If you care about your art, learn from Dorian.
This course is ideal to understand how light works. Whether you are a beginner or professional, you will come away with a new perspective. I love the way it’s explained and I like the combination of demonstrations, examples, and interactive parts. Dorian uses Photoshop, pencil and charcoal, so this is great for digital artists and traditional artists alike.
