Whether you're completely new to art, returning after years away, or simply want to improve your skills, Essentials gives you a clear place to begin. Start with drawing fundamentals, move into details such as eyes, fur and textures, then bring everything together with complete animal portraits. And there's no rush. Work through the lessons in your own time, repeat them whenever you like, or simply choose a project from the library that inspires you.
There's no timetable to keep up with and no pressure to finish a lesson by a certain date. Choose what you'd like to learn, press pause when you need to, replay demonstrations as often as you like, and come back whenever you're ready. Whether you have twenty minutes or an entire afternoon, your art is waiting for you.
