No More Doubt, Just Confident Drawing

Have you ever felt a longing to express yourself artistically, only to be met with the fear that you can’t draw? Perhaps you’ve picked up a pencil, stared at a blank sheet of paper, and felt completely overwhelmed, anxious, or even defeated. You’re not alone. Many aspiring artists struggle with these feelings, grappling with self-doubt and the fear of failure.

Learning to draw can often feel like climbing a mountain; the path seems steep, the peak unreachable, and every attempt feels more daunting than the last. It’s easy to think that drawing is a talent reserved for the “gifted” few, leaving you to wonder if you’ll ever be able to bring your ideas and imagination to life on paper. The good news? Drawing is a skill that can be learned, and you can begin right here at Drawing Bootcamp!

What You Will Learn:

  • The building blocks of drawing—understand how simple shapes form the foundation for more complex creations.
  • Techniques for one-point and two-point perspectives that make your artwork pop with depth and realism.
  • Effective sketching practices, including how to use a sketchbook as your personal playground for inspiration and idea generation.
  • The art of expressing emotions and ideas through shapes, exploring both geometric and organic forms to expand your artistic toolkit.
  • Principles of composition, line quality, and texture that will elevate the visual impact of your work.
  • The magic of storytelling in art—learn to convey concepts and feelings through your drawings while developing your own unique voice as an artist.

Supplies You’ll Need:

  • Sketchbook or drawing paper
  • Pencils (HB2 and soft pencils for shading)
  • Erasers (both kneaded and regular)

Class Details:

  • Technique Demonstration and Practical Application
  • On-Demand Course

Course Level: All Skill Levels
Run Time: 16 Hours, 50 minutes

Bootcamp was delightful! In recent years, I've convinced myself that I struggle to draw anything substantial. I reevaluated what 'substantial' meant, to me: Perfection. In just 3 days, I have learned to enjoy the process and progress. 🙂

I can't say enough about the drawing boot camp. Just from 3 days, I can already tell my drawing has improved. It covers everything from shading to composition to line weight. Really, everything you need to know to learn to draw both in pencil and ink.

I thought it was great--it was a good use of my time and I feel like I learned a good bit. The schedule helped keep everything on track and moving forward. I wondered if it would be too basic, but I learned something in each section. The activities were fun and engaging. Shelby and later, Rob did a great job of leading our group through practice sessions where we could ask questions and comment. I would recommend this Drawing Bootcamp to anyone--artist or not.

Foxsy's live classes demonstrate much more than "How to's." They take the viewer through thought processes in real time with the unexpected or changes that pop up. The live chat enables the viewer to interact by asking questions, giving information, or letting Shelby know when more clarification is needed. It's fun to listen to her anecdotes and interaction with Jon.

An amazing three days! Thank you so much for offering Bootcamp and the great surprises that came with it. I'm ready to draw! (But I am working at the polls for early voting for the next 2 weeks, so I'll have to wait. Everybody in the US of A, don't forget to vote!)
